Our Story

Richard the Spider didn’t set out to be brave.

He was perfectly content in his web, tucked in for a nap, when a sudden noise pulled him into the dark unknown around him. Instead of running away, Richard does something quieter—and much harder than it seems.  He pays attention. He listens. He takes one careful step at a time.

​

Along his journey, Richard discovers that fear isn’t something to conquer alone. With curiosity, kindness, and the help of unexpected friends, he learns that courage can be shared—and that the dark isn’t always as scary as it first seems.

​

The Richard the Spider stories are gentle, thoughtful tales about emotions, bravery, and growing confidence. They’re written for children who feel deeply, parents who value emotional understanding, and classrooms where empathy matters just as much as reading.

Richard isn’t fearless.

He’s thoughtful.

And that’s what makes him brave.
