Red Spider Hero by John Miller
Bold and quirky, this imaginative adventure story is about a real insect: the red spider mite.
Named to Kirkus Reviews Best Books of 2015 "..this tale won't burn out, nor will Cucco's illustrations, with their M&M colors and their shared aesthetic with William Steig, Jules Feiffer, and Quentin Blake. Just so, a story that celebrates the dreams of even the smallest of us--the really, really smallest." -- STARRED REVIEW, Kirkus Reviews "John Miller's Red Spider Hero was written more than 50 years ago, but its appeal is timeless. Harry's desire to be something bigger, something grander than his very small self won't be lost on young readers."----Karin Snelson, Shelf Awareness "...[an] amiable story of the limits of youthful ambition. Giuliano Cucco's black lines and deep shades of watercolor make the illustrations a glowing affair in this collaboration by the creators of 2014's Winston & George."----Meghan Cox Gurdon, The Wall Street Journal
John Miller spent much of his grade school years with a friend, tramping about the woods, lakes, rivers and swamps of Morris County, New Jersey. These adventures inspired his children's books and articles about beavers, trout, starlings and other animals for many magazines. Giuliano Cucco was an artist and illustrator. He and his wife died in 2006 when they were crossing a pedestrian crossing in Rome and were hit by a motor scooter.
