The Tale of Piper: the spider who built bridges
This is a tale of musketeer friendships, clever solutions, and a little bit of magic-or maybe a lot of magic-a world where impossible things are made possible with heart and courage. It's a tale full of synchronicity, good deeds done, and moments that will tug at your heart. There are close calls, laughter, and tears, with just enough cliffhangers to keep you turning the pages. Written in the style of a tale of yore-or perhaps something that simply feels timeless...Two little doors are left open at the end-just enough to keep you wondering-with a touch of humor throughout for Dad, Mom, and the grandparents.This is a book to read aloud to little ones, and later for them to read to themselves-a story filled with characters to cherish, to cheer for, and maybe even to fall in love with. A heartwarming tale for all ages, wrapped in the kind of magic that stays with you long after the last page is turned.
Our Cast of Characters:
Piper (known as Pip to his friends, and Piper to the grown-ups): A young spider with a curious talent-he can't weave an ordinary web, but he can create just about anything else. AND... he discovers he can spin gold, which turns out to be both a gift and a destiny.

Slugger: A snail with a tough shell and an even tougher attitude.
