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.
