Book Description
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.

Book Description
Through the ages, there have been legends passed down explaining how things came to be. The Legend of the Christmas Spider is no exception. This book tells the story of how we might decorate our Christmas trees in this day and age. Though the origin of this folktale has been lost in time, it is very well known in Eastern Europe, especially Western Ukraine. In that part of the world, it is widely held as good luck to find a spider or a spiderweb on the Christmas tree, so it comes as no surprise to find spider-shaped ornaments during the holiday season. Some homes still use artificial spider webs and apply it to their Christmas tree as a tradition.

A fun re-telling of the Christmas story for young children, including regular invitations to make some noise! Some people think that Christmas was a "Silent Night". Far from it. It was filled with shouting, singing and screaming! It was as noisy as any of our Christmas celebrations. This fun and fresh retelling of the Christmas story comes with invitations to make some noise, so that children can join in as parents read to them. But it also shows children that at the heart of the Christmas story is something we should all be quiet and see: God's Son Jesus was born, so that we can be friends with God forever. A wonderful Christmas gift for children aged 2-4.

Book Description
If you enjoy "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" and "Charlotte's Web" than you are bound to enjoy this delightful and vividly illustrated tale. But first, let me tell you why I wrote the story. One Christmas, I received two beautiful colorful beaded spiders, each accompanied with a poem "The Legend of the Christmas Spider". Each had their own version of the tale, but the main topics were the same. Spiders spinning "dusty gray spider webs" on these beautiful Christmas trees and a "young mother" who, in this adaptation, is now a "Nana".I loved the poems and researching them, I discovered they originated in an Eastern European country. The legends have been kept alive by being passed on from generation to generation throughout the old world into the present. I found this intriguing and as a creative artist and bead designer, I was inspired so, I adapted the legend, as an American Adaptation, to include the "Christmas Story" ... Believing in the birth of Baby Jesus and in the "Magic of Christmas" cleverly told through the eyes of one special spider ... introducing "Bitsy", the most curious spider of all.This tale unfolds with Bitsy not only discovering her first Christmas tree ... encountering Santa Claus ... witnessing "Christmas Magic" and seeing spider webs turn into "silver tinsel:; but, also, experiencing the joy of celebrating Christmas with family. And with the trusty help of, the eldest, wisest spider, E.W., she embarks on her journey "discovering truths of major importance".Leading Bitsy to learn how she, left her mark spinning the image of a "sparkling golden crystal diamond" the Christmas Star" in the night sky as her "dusty gray spider web" on the Christmas tree. Her design becomes the most inspirational symbol not nly to see but it carries the greatest message the "The Christmas Story", for the whole world to hear.This adaptation introduces the Baker's Dozen family. They bring this "ol' world legend" to life by keeping past traditions alive and blending the present customs to make sure these are passed down to the new generation of countless tomorrows.
