Ew! Yuck! A spider! Well, that may be what some people think when they see a spider; it may even be what you think, but you won't react that way when you meet Sophie. Sophie is an artist, weaving beautiful, functional webs. However, like so many great artists, she is misunderstood wherever she goes in her short spider life — until finally, she scrambles into the apartment of a woman who smiles at Sophie rather than shooing her away, and for whom Sophie finally creates her masterpiece. (P.S. Read the author and illustrator bios: the inspiration for this story is as captivating as the story and illustrations themselves!)
