While reading this quietly stunning nature book, readers are encouraged to slow down and observe the minute details of the natural world from the viewpoint of a spider. The spider's black legs make a stark contrast to the meticulously detailed seeds, thorns, bugs, feathers, and leaves (all identified by name) that grace the pages, culminating finally with the spider herself in her intricate web.
