It Fell From The Sky on a Thursday. None of the insects know where it came from, or what it is. Some say it's an egg. Others, a gumdrop. But whatever it is, it fell near Spider's house, so he's convinced it belongs to him.

Spider builds a wondrous display so that insects from far and wide can come to look at the marvel. Spider has their best interests at heart. So what if he has to charge a small fee? So what if the lines are long? But as Spider raises the prices, insects stop showing up, much to Spider's bemusement. And then, all of a sudden, an unexpected disaster hits and the marvel disappears!

This charming story is accompanied by characterful illustrations and also teaches children important life lessons about greed and the importance of sharing.

It Fell From The Sky is praised for its stunning illustrations and intricate detail, offering a compelling visual experience. The Fan Brothers' art is described as mesmerizingly crisp and richly textured, drawing the reader into an enchanting miniature world. The narrative conveys themes of community spirit and the perils of greed through a blend of realism and whimsy. The contrast between grayscale and selective use of colour enhances the otherworldly allure of the story's centerpiece.
