Tilly the Tarantula
Tilly the Tarantula isn’t like the spooky spiders children whisper about. She’s gentle, thoughtful, and full of big feelings. Every day, she watches little faces press against her glass enclosure, hoping she can make them happy. But when the children giggle or point or scream, Tina starts to wonder whether she’s doing something wrong — and whether she’s really as special as she hopes to be.
Everything changes when a sparkly, unexpected visitor arrives with a message Tilly never knew she needed. With heart, humor, and a touch of wonder, Tilly discovers something unexpected: the magic of seeing herself through a kinder lens. A tender, uplifting story for every child who has ever wondered if they were enough, Tilly the Tarantula shows that the bravest magic is believing you already shine.
