The school spelling bee is coming up, and Spider has a terrible case of stage fright. He is a fantastic speller, but the thought of standing up in front of the entire school makes his knees shake and his voice disappear. He wants to hide and skip the competition entirely. When Spider shares his fears with his family, they offer him a different way to look at the challenge. His father reminds him of the deep strength and courage of their Shoshoni ancestors, teaching him how to channel the quiet bravery of a mountain lion. With the support of his family and the wisdom of his heritage, Spider begins to find his own inner power. This inspiring story explores the very real fear of public speaking and the beautiful ways our families support us. It is a gentle reminder that you have incredible courage hiding right inside your own heart.
