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. THE GUARDIAN "[...] gorgeous
illustration [...] intricate monochrome [...] acid-bright touches
of colour [...] will prompt lively discussion." 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.
