Rosalina Spider Ballerina

Theme: dance - perseverance - difference

Key Points:

Adorable illustrations that immerse us in enchanting settings.
Helps ease the primal fear of spiders. Encourages dialogue about the importance of being open to others, embracing differences, and recognizing everyone’s strengths.
An appendix that allows for a discussion on perseverance and achievement. A spider that’s as cute as she is lovable. By the same illustrator as I Wouldn’t Hurt a Fly.
