The Weaver
Stanley is a spider, a weaver and a collector. On his web he collects seeds, twigs, leaves and all kinds of precious things he cannot name. Stanley is very proud of his collection, but what can one tiny spider do when it is washed away? In this stunning, deceptively simple and thoughtful debut from animator, illustrator and writer Qian Shi we discover the difference between what you collect in the world and what you collect in your heart.

Reviews
School Library Journal
“Fragility, strength, and creativity are eloquently conveyed in this affecting tale. A good storytime selection and discussion starter about resilience.”—School Library Journal
Booklist
“[T]he underlying, sympathetically portrayed message of finding ways to cope with losing beloved things is one readers may relate to and appreciate.”—Booklist
Kirkus Reviews
“As a study in the graceful way to handle loss, Stanley’s story carries a surprising amount of emotional heft, especially considering he is a black puffball with stick legs (all right, the big, cute eyes help).”—Kirkus Reviews
