September 1st - The Spider Weaver: A Legend of Kente Cloth.
By Margaret Musgrove & Julia Cairns
“It is said that long ago, long ago, a beautiful spider created a web so intricate and magnificent that the weavers of Ghana still tell the story today. The colorful patterns of this magical web were soon woven into a unique new fabric: kente cloth. This is the legend of that master spider weaver and the remarkable gift she gave to people everywhere.”
