Bookroo's summary

Kiara, a determined spider, dreams of weaving the perfect web. Despite her efforts, her creations are repeatedly destroyed. Frustrated, she meets Orb, a spider with a unique outlook. Through their friendship, Kiara learns that creativity is about the journey, not just the result. Will she find fulfillment in her artistic pursuit?

From the publisher

A spider sets out to make the most perfect, awe-inspiring web only to have her artistic efforts destroyed again and again in this delightful picture book about the creative process and perseverance. As a spider, Kiara has always made webs to catch food, but one day, she discovers a web so beautiful that she’s inspired to spin a masterpiece of her own. So, Kiara starts creating, but even though she works hard on her webs, they are carelessly destroyed by others. How frustrating! It’s not until Kiara meets Orb, a spider who eats every web he weaves, that she gains a fresh perspective: the artistic process isn’t about the destination but the journey and the friends you make along the way.
