Summary

Odder spends her days playing underwater and learning life lessons from her mother. But when Odder's life takes a dramatic turn, she is rescued by humans. The people are kind, and introduce Odder to other rescues. Soon, it's clear that Odder has a talent for teaching other pups how to otter. A stunning picture book adapted from acclaimed author Katherine Applegate's #1 New York Times-bestselling middle-grade novel of the same name, and inspired by the true story of a program that pairs orphaned otter pups with surrogate mothers, this poignant and humorous tale examines bravery and healing through the eyes of one of nature's most beloved and charming animals" -- (back cover).
