Spid the Spider Welcomes in the New Year is an inspiring and humorous story that helps children build self-confidence, embrace fresh starts and understand that progress begins with effort.

It’s New Year’s Eve in Spider Webdon — but Spid isn’t feeling celebratory. Spidmas is over. The decorations are coming down.

And Spid feels forgotten, unimportant… and unsure of himself.
As fireworks light the sky, Spid begins to wonder whether he will ever achieve anything special.
But with a little encouragement — and a fresh perspective — Spid discovers that new beginnings are powerful. And that believing in yourself is the first step towards success.
