SEAVER THE WEAVER

SEAVER THE WEAVER combines the clever story by first-time children’s book author Paul Czajak, and the stunning art of the Brothers Hilts, who have a talent for creating unusual images of small creatures in the nighttime, as they did in their debut picture book THE INSOMNIACS: Seaver is an orb spider with a sky full of inspiration. His siblings prefer tradition and aren’t afraid to let him know. But Seaver doesn’t mind! He loves his new shapes and isn’t afraid to stand out. Told with quiet charm, this picture book tangles readers in a web of delight.

Seaver the spider spins unusual webs—triangles, squares, hexagons. But his brother and sister spiders remind him that, “we are orb weavers, we make round webs… If you want to be an orb weaver, your web needs to look like ours.” Seaver admires their perfectly round webs, but he always seems to come up with something different. Seaver’s magnificently shaped webs always catch the things that spiders like to eat, and eventually his brothers and sisters ask him how they can make marvelous shapes too. The Brothers Hilts are Ben (the older one) and Sean (the younger one). They work as a team illustrating, designing and constantly comparing to see whose ideas are better. They too are the products of an insomniac family and a long line of people who stay up late into the night. Sean went to Rhode Island School of Design and Ben went to Cooper Union in New York City. They now live and work in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Paul Czajak got an 'F' with the words "get a tutor" on his college writing paper and after that, never thought he'd become a writer. But after spending twenty years as a chemist, he knew his creativity could no longer be contained. Living in Massachusetts with his wife, and two little monsters, Paul has rediscovered his passion for writing and looks forward to sharing his stories for years to come.
