Spiders frighten many people, but they play an important role in maintaining the balance of their ecosystems. This volume showcases spiders' remarkable ability to thrive amidst a world of challenges and opportunities. From the diving bell spider, which lives underwater in a bubble of air, to the golden wheel spider, which rolls like a tire down sand dunes to escape the fearsome spider wasp, readers learn about the amazing and unusual tricks spiders utilize to survive in a variety of environments. Intriguing fact boxes and informative graphic organizers give students a better understanding of these feared yet fascinating creatures.

Entering a building that has front steps, writing legibly, and doing several chores in one day are all things many able-bodied people do without a second thought.

Also included is a list of age-appropriate actions children can take to help advance the cause and either support their disabled loved ones or advocate for themselves as disabled individuals.
