Spider In A Tree

Jonathan Edwards compared a person dangling a spider over a hearth to God holding a sinner over hellfire in his most famous sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.” Here, spiders and insects preach back. No voice, no matter how mighty, drowns all others. Grace, human failings, and extraordinary convictions combine unexpectedly in this New England tale.

The Spider and the Christmas Tree By: Sonia Strockyj The family was poor and, even though they had a Christmas tree, they couldn’t afford to decorate it with ornaments as they have done in the past. And so, on Christmas Eve, the mother and her children went to bed knowing that they would have a bare Christmas tree on Christmas morning. The spider in the home heard the mother’s prayers and saw the children’s sad faces and decided they would not see the Christmas tree bare in the morning. The spider created beautiful webs on the Christmas tree, decorating it with elegant and beautiful silky patterns.

Long ago in a faraway place there lived two mothers. One, a humble peasant woman who struggled daily to provide for her children. And the other, a mother spider who also worked hard to care for her family. And although it would appear they were as different as night and day, these two mothers had more in common than would first seem. As the only holiday gift she can give her children, one cold Christmas Eve the peasant woman goes to the forest to get a tree, never noticing that someone has made a home among its branches. During the night, the mother spider spins webs decorating the tree, resulting in a Christmas that neither mother will ever forget. Based on an old Ukrainian story, Trinka Hakes Noble (The Orange Shoes) crafts an original heartwarming tale of the grace that can be found in the true spirit of Christmas. Trinka Hakes Noble's numerous picture books include The Scarlet Stockings Spy (IRA Teachers' Choice 2005), The Last Brother, The Orange Shoes (IRA Teachers' Choice 2008), and Apple Tree Christmas.

The Spider and the Waterberry Tree: An African "Tall" Tale is a story about friendship and courage. The spider desperately needs to get water to the waterberry tree that is no match for the heat of the African sun. It seeks the help of passerby clouds, a stream of giggling fish, a family of hungry baboons, and finally, a herd of snobbish elephants. In the end, it would seem that even the African sun is no match for the friendship between a spider and the waterberry tree that finally gets the help it needs. (Waterberry trees are native to Africa, bear fruit, and depend on low-lying water for their survival.)
