A shining web deep in the forest changes the way two weavers see their work.
In this retelling of a Ghanaian legend, two Ashanti weavers discover a spider spinning a pattern so delicate and beautiful that it seems almost magical. The web’s colors and design inspire them to return to their village and try something new at their looms.
The Spider Weaver brings together folklore, art, and cultural history in a graceful picture book about creativity and tradition. As you follow the weavers’ discovery, you can see how careful watching, imagination, and respect for nature help give rise to kente cloth, one of the world’s most celebrated woven textiles.
