THE GUARDIAN "[...] gorgeous illustration [...] intricate
monochrome [...] acid-bright touches of colour [...] will prompt
lively discussion." From the creators of the critically acclaimed
The Night Gardener and Ocean Meets Sky comes a whimsical and
elegantly illustrated picture book about community, art, the
importance of giving back - and the wonder that fell from the sky.
It fell from the sky on a Thursday. None of the insects know where
it came from, or what it is. Some say it's an egg. Others, a
gumdrop. But whatever it is, it fell near Spider's house, so he's
convinced it belongs to him. Spider builds a wonderous display so
that insects from far and wide can come to look at the marvel.
Spider has their best interests at heart. So what if he has to
charge a small fee? So what if the lines are long? But as Spider
raises the prices, insects stop showing up, much to Spider's
bemusement. And then, all of a sudden, an unexpected disaster hits
and the marvel disappears! This charming story is accompanied by
characterful illustrations, and also teaches children important
life lessons about greed and the importance of sharing.
