One small spider takes a big risk to bring together the people she
watches over in her apartment building in this charming picture book
from the celebrated author and illustrator of Truman.
Sylvie hangs on a silvery thread, safely hidden under her damp, dark
fire escape. Sure, it's a little too close to the dumpster below, but if
she stays carefully out of sight, she can watch over her people in the
apartment building above--a painter, a proper lady, a man with a plan,
and a girl with an exceptionally brave tortoise.
Day and night, night and day, Sylvie watches over them making sure
everything is just so. Lately though, her people seem to be
missing...something. Sylvie wants to help, but she's always stayed out
of view. After all, not everyone appreciates a spider who calls
attention to herself. When a most audacious idea comes to her though,
one that might make everything more than just so, maybe even just
right, can Sylvie muster her moxie and risk stepping into the
spotlight?
