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? So what if no one can even see the wonder anymore?

And what will Spider do after everyone stops showing up?

It Fell From The Sky is a beautifully illustrated tale that inspires readers to reflect on the nature of curiosity, possession, and the wonders of our world.
