Bart the spider has always been different. He's not like the other spiders though he looks just like them. He runs about, he jumps, he doesn't listen at school and is scolded by the teacher.

Bart is a dreamer, creating amazing patterns with his thread. But nobody wants to play with him and he stands at the edge of the playground, lonely and misunderstood.

Then his only friend, the wind, changes everything. 'Have confidence and be yourself,' the wind tells Bart. And, helped and inspired by the wind, Bart discovers that he has an incredible, unique talent...

When he shows his very first picture 'Smiling in the Wind', his family and classmates are astonished

Bart has found his true self and happiness, and when he grows up he becomes

a famous artist! Yes, Bart is truly different!
