Seaver the Weaver by Paul Czajak

5.0

Gorgeous illustrations by the Brothers Hilts made me pick up this book, and Paul Czajak's encouraging story about embracing your gifts keeps me wanting to read it over and over to my four-year-old. The contrast between tiny, secretive, competitive-sibling spiders building webs, and the creative inspiration Seaver the Weaver finds in the cool, limitless night sky twinkling with stars, brings me to a calm, hopeful and confident place. Inspired by orb weavers but NOT a natural history book, this gem has a bit of star gazing, a bit of geometry, and a bit of how to thrive as a creative person in the world, which all make for a delightful read. Seaver the Weaver would make a lovely gift for the budding little observer, artist, dreamer or inventor in your life.
