An itsy bitsy spider named Kiara spun uninteresting webs everyday for lunch.  One day, she saw a fantastic extraordinary web up in some trees. She tries to make a beautiful web herself, but every time it almost perfect, someone ruins it.  She decides to quit trying, and runs into squirrels work of art.  He talks her into trying something new again.  Will Kiara ever make the perfect web?

Wall's story captures the trial and errors that encompass the creative process.  I liked her message that the creative journey and the friends you make along the way are just as important as the end result.  The illustrations are cute and delightful.
