Do Spiders Need Leggins When it’s Cold Outside? is a bedtime story book full of animals and pirates.  Along with the spider that needs leggins, author Terri Sebastian introduces readers to a silly old polka dot cat, a lady moose all dressed in red, and the pirate that lives in a closet inside a shoe with his crewmate, a little brown mouse.  

Terri wrote each story in this book in response to her son, Ryan’s childhood questions.  “Mom, what do spiders do when it’s cold outside?” was the one that started it all. After Ryan died just before his sixteenth birthday, Terri decided to collect these stories as a way to honor him.  Ryan’s memory is carried on not only by this book and these stories, but also by the five people whose lives he saved by being an organ donor.

Reading these stories not only explains how spiders keep warm or how the pirate who lives in your shoe stays busy at night, but how a legacy of giving can keep the world safe.

Praise

A very sweet collection of short stories written by a mother for her son. Anyone who’s ever loved a child knows all about the many (sometimes silly) questions a young person can throw your way. In Sebastian’s rhyming stories she answers some of the greatest questions with some of the most creative answers. The hand penned, purposefully squiggly illustrations have a dreamlike, vintage-Y feel.” —childrens_book_reviews, children’s book reviewer on Instagram
