This book is wonderful and it shows how someone can learn about nature by spending time observing something they really love. Most people are afraid of spiders but Nan Songer loved them, and she figured out how to take their silk. By using observation and trial and error, Nan found out how to get the different kinds of silk people needed and she recreated their natural environments to get the spiders to make the best silk.
It's also interesting that she was able to use the silk to help during the war, and she even got special permission to receive spiders in the mail because the nation needed her help.
This is a picture book and it's easy to read but I learned a lot. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

A well-laid out book, if niche. The art is beautiful and it tells a story of a woman making an unusual contribution to the war effort. These stories are important to celebrate.

Overall, the book was well written and I did really enjoy it. Thank you for this advance reading copy!
