Spiro

Spiro’s formula for spidery success-

11% hunger to succeed (or actual hunger)

34% trying again and again … and again!

53% giving it another shot

And 2% spider silk.

A hilarious tale of one spider’s determined search for a decent meal from award winning author and illustrator Anna McGregor.

‘The protagonist is Spiro, a determined little spider on a mission to catch his next meal … his story shows young readers that success is a combination of perseverance and effort … Spiro is a heartwarming picture book with a cheeky sense of humour and a solid message about persistence for young readers aged 3+. McGregor’s illustrations and hand-lettering add vibrancy to the tale, especially with the pops of neon pink.‘
-Karys McEwen, Books+Publishing

‘This lively tale features colourful art and has a valuable message about never giving up!‘
