With humour and heart, Spid the Spider Grows a Magic Money Tree introduces children to important lessons about patience, responsibility and understanding the true value of money.

When Spid plants mysterious “magic” seeds hoping to grow instant riches, he discovers that money doesn’t grow on trees.

Real success takes patience, effort and integrity. As Spid works day and night, impatient for instant results, he learns that real rewards don’t appear overnight — and that quick fixes aren’t always what they seem.
