In graphic designer and author Sam de Groot’s fable of modern parenting, psychoanalytic intrigue meets Aesopian Bildungsroman as we follow the tale of a boy and his fox.

A story of soft orange paws and sharp teeth, Otto asks: how do we learn to understand our deepest emotion, what creatures lurk beneath the surface of our minds, and to what lengths will parents go to placate their child? 

Released to coincide with Dinamo's launch of the ABC Otto family, a cheerful text font with a sturdy, wide rhythm designed by Sam de Groot and Laura Opsomer Mironov, this book is both an homage to various histories and forms of storytelling as well as a delightful type specimen. Children may proceed with caution.
