A wonder becomes a community question

An unidentified object lands near Spider’s home, and his claim over it turns curiosity into a public attraction. As he builds a display and charges visitors, the story brings questions of ownership, access, and giving back into a playful insect community. The object’s uncertain identity keeps the focus on how the insects respond to it—and on what happens when the crowd’s interest fades. Terry Fan’s picture book pairs that setup with themes of art and shared wonder.

Book overview

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.

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 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? So what if no one can even see the wonder anymore?

But what will Spider do after everyone stops showing up?
