What is The Weaver about?

Stanley is a small spider with a big passion for collecting. Every day, he gathers seeds, twigs, leaves and other treasures to decorate his carefully woven web. But when a sudden flood sweeps everything away, Stanley must face losing the collection he treasures most. As he begins again, he discovers that memories, courage and the love found in nature can be more valuable than things kept in a web.
