Children’s Book Author And Illustrator
Gizo, the lazy spider, loves sleep, food, and free stuff.
He thinks he has found out a great way to make all the other animals do all the work, but he is in for a very big surprise.
This book has a lot of humour and lessons about deceit, dishonesty, greed, and consequences for our actions.
Together with my previous books: “How The Tortoise Broke Its Shell” and “How The Lizard Lost Its Hair”, they make a worthy collection of ecellent African animal stories and worthy additions to any child library around the world.

Vivian Uwakwe is a gifted, self-taught artist who takes pride in her African heritage. She is on a mission to document all the stories her father, a fantastic storyteller, told her as a child.
In addition, she is collecting and rewriting several African folktales in simple modern language and creating beautiful illustrations to catch the minds of young kids around the world.
Storytelling amongst several African tribes around the continent, are typically told by the village griots as well as the elderly. The young listeners pass on the torch retelling these stories from generation to generation.
Vivian is grateful that her work as an African author and illustrator offers her a unique platform to dispense her cultural duty of passing the story telling torch to younger generations.
