The Signature Book Collection, WovenCross Books, represents a unique effort to reimagine traditional folktales through the lens of faith. The name "WovenCross" reflects the central theme of weaving stories with purpose.
In Christian symbolism, a spider web often represents entanglement, sin, and deception—the trials and snares of life. At WovenCross, the cross symbolizes the power of faith and redemption, which overcomes these entanglements. Together, they create a powerful metaphor for light triumphing over darkness and wisdom prevailing over deception, offering stories that are both entertaining and morally insightful.
Rooted in the beloved Ananse folktales, these adaptations are crafted to inspire reflection, spiritual growth, and thoughtful engagement with life's complexities. The result is a story that teaches valuable lessons, showing how faith can illuminate even the darkest paths.
Every story conveys the message of light triumphing over darkness and wisdom prevailing over deception, offering readers both entertainment and moral insight.

Why the Crab Has No Head: An Anansi Tale
Long ago in the Animal Kingdom, there was a crab named Okoto. He was kind, wise, and generous. Everyone came to Okoto for help. He gave them advice. He gave them food. He even gave away his home. But when the clever spider Anansi comes asking for one last thing, Okoto’s head, what follows is a tale of trickery, loss, and the quiet strength of setting boundaries. Rooted in Akan folklore and reimagined through the lens of grace, "Why the Crab Has No Head: An Anansi Tale" is both a cautionary tale and a celebration of self-worth.
Powerfully retold with vivid storytelling and compelling symbolism by Valerie Dompreh, readers are invited to explore the story behind why crabs look the way they do and how one crab's journey from self-sacrifice to self-love has forever shaped the world.
This is not just a story of what was lost. It's a story of what was found.
