Simmie the Nine-Legged Spider:

Simmie's Search for Friendship​

​

Even the smallest act of kindness can change everything.

​

Deep in the forest lives Simmie, a nine-legged spider who loves inventing clever 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? Still, he keeps trying, believing that kindness might someday lead to friendship.

​

Will Simmie discover the true power of kindness, perseverance, and being seen for who he really is?

​

With gentle humor, repeated read-aloud moments, and webs transformed into wonderful gifts and solutions, this heartwarming story invites children to see beyond appearances, believe in themselves, and help others, even when it’s hard. Perfect for children aged 3 -8 and fans of Strictly No Elephants, Stick and Stone, and The Very Busy Spider, Simmie's story opens meaningful conversations about exclusion, empathy, resilience, acceptance, and the joy of being understood.

​

What will it take for Simmie's quiet kindness to finally be seen?
