Luigi, the Spider Who Wanted to Be a Kitten

From the acclaimed creators of 'Library Lion' comes a delightful story about Luigi, a spider who finds himself in an unexpected situation. Searching for a home, Luigi is discovered by a lady who has always wanted a kitten and names him Luigi. Initially puzzled, Luigi embraces the perks of kitten life, enjoying tasty breakfasts and bedtime tuck-ins. However, maintaining the facade becomes a challenge, leading Luigi to question what truly matters: pretending to be someone else or being loved for his authentic self. This book beautifully addresses themes of identity, belonging, and unconditional love with gentle humor and warmth, making it perfect for children aged 4-11.

From the New York Times best-selling creators of Library Lion comes a warm (and delightfully fuzzy) storybook about learning to be—and be loved for—exactly who you are. On a street of old houses, a big hairy spider is searching for a home with dark corners to hide in. But when he wakes up, he finds a hand reaching for him and a lady proclaiming that she has always wanted a kitten—and will name him Luigi! At first, a somewhat puzzled Luigi, used to being left alone to creep and dangle and spin webs, resists her kind advances. But soon, tasty breakfasts and getting tucked into bed (no one’s ever wished him good night before) have him thinking that kittens surely live magical lives. I will be a kitten! he decides. But how long can he keep up his facade, and what might be at stake in pretending to be someone you’re not? The award-winning duo behind Library Lion delivers another classic in the making, marked by humor and depth, endearing characters, and the assurance that the right people will accept and adore us, unconditionally, just as we are.
