Fall 2007 Official Selection

Bob and Otto by Robert O. Bruel

Bob and Otto follows the fates of two friends who occupy separate but overlapping worlds. Bob, a caterpillar, wants to climb trees, while Otto, a worm, enjoys burrowing underground. After reuniting, the two friends are able to accept their differences and celebrate their contribution to nature’s harmony.

Nick Bruel is an artist-illustrator, and an author. He is also the author of the children’s books,
Bad Kitty, Boing!, and Who is Mervin Bubble?.
