Jumper: a Day in the Life of a Backyard Jumping Spider by Jessica Lanan


*This book is from a local WI author and is not available everywhere yet. However, we have worked with the author and as of right now, it can be purchased from Follett and Amazon. You can also order it directly from her website https://robinrkelley.com/ and then she will autograph it as well.  More vendors may be picking it up as well, but we wanted to give people a place to start with because we know as soon as the list goes public, some people will want to order it immediately.
