Author: Michael Sussman
What would it be like if time went backwards? One unlucky little boy is about to find out!
Otto has just one birthday wish: that his new baby sister Anna had never been born. And it comes true when the days suddenly start moving in reverse. But now, instead of growing up, Otto’s growing DOWN. He’s getting younger every minute and in danger of disappearing entirely. Can he turn things around before it’s too late-for Anna and himself?
Brilliant illustrations by the fabulous Scott Magoon capture all the fun of this whimsical tale.
Otto Grows Down challenges children to think in new ways as they imagine life in reverse, and helps them cope with the difficult feelings entailed in sharing the spotlight with a new sibling.
