Simmie the Nine-Legged Spider
Coming Soon!
Belle's first picture book,
Simmie the Nine-Legged Spider:
Simmie's Search for Friendship,
will be published on the 21st August 2026.
Even the smallest act of kindness can change everything.
Deep in the forest lives Simmie, a nine-legged spider who loves inventing little things to help others. But the other spiders are jealous and leave him out of their games. Still, he never stops creating, never stops caring, never stops hoping.
When a family choose to picnic under his tree, he sees a chance of friendship elsewhere. Yet, what can he do when they don’t see who is making the things to help them, and keep chasing him away?
Will Simmie discover the true power of kindness, perseverance, and being seen for who he really is?
A heart-warming picture book about believing in yourself and helping others, even when it’s hard. Perfect for children aged 3 -7 and fans of Strictly No Elephants, Stick and Stone, and The Very Busy Spider.
