A Huntsman Spider in My House: Little Aussie Critters - Paperback
by Michelle Ray (Author), Sylvie Ashford (Illustrator)
A Huntsman Spider in My House features a young girl concerned about a Huntsman spider appearing in her room. Rather than react immediately to kill the spider, as commonly taught by society, she finds another way--catching the Huntsman instead and then releasing it outside to let it live and support the ecosystem of Australian fauna. The little girl's actions show that insects are important, necessary, not so scary, and support the world too.

Inspired by catching and releasing Huntsman spiders in her own home, her Little Aussie Critters children's book series is based on true tales of growing up with little Australian critters.
