From the Publisher:
When Queen Heartless sees a princess wearing a gown even more beautiful than her own, she orders her guards to capture Ariane, the weaver. The Queen orders Ariane to weave the silk for three dresses: one that looks like the sky at sunset, another that ripples like a field of golden corn, and finally one that shimmers like the morning dew. If she fails, she will die. Imprisoned and alone, far from her animal friends and her cottage in the woods, Ariane is in despair. But unexpected help is at hand when hundreds of tiny spiders weave a web of exquisite silk... Kate Petty’s many books for children include The Amazing Pop–Up series and the Playground series. Mary Claire Smith is the highly praised illustrator of e.e. cummings’ Little Tree.
