Product Information
Young Otis is forced to question his origin and allegiances, given that his mom, a yellow chicken, is part of the Nuh-Uhs, and his dad, a blue flower, stems from the Yes-Chums. Struggling to find answers, Otis runs away, only to encounter more colors and cultures than he could ever imagine. Rooted in the challenges of family conflict, this book still appeals to any child--or adult--who kws that growing up can be tough, that there is the odor of growing older, but that ultimately, love and wonder will win.Product Identifiers

Author BiographyKathryn holds a B.A. from Penn State University, an M.F.A. from Emerson College, and an Ed.M. from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. She wrote the first draft of Otis Grows in 2010, but did not begin seriously considering children's literature until 2015. Perhaps having kids of her own had a stake in that: her daughter Lucille is four, and her son Julian is one. Kathryn is from York, Pennsylvania and lives in Asheville, North Carolina.
