Recently lots of people have been asking me where I came from. I’ve tried to answer, but Otter Keeper says they don’t mean which room I just came from (usually the living room where I’ve just been colouring in). They actually mean where I came from in the first place (which is not even the bedroom where I woke up) – it’s all quite confusing. But luckily Otter Keeper has explained it all to me now so I can explain it to you.
Well it turns out that no one actually knows where I came from (not even Otter Keeper, and he usually knows EVERYTHING). Otter Keeper said that he found me in a box on his doorstep one day. He says back then I was very small. I’m still quite small now so I must have been REALLY small. I wish I’d made the most of being that small. I could have fitted in some really small places.
Apparently I was quite scared of Otter Keeper at first. This was because back then I didn’t know he was Otter Keeper (that seems really silly now!). He was very kind though and he said he’d look after me – which was the best news ever! It was at this time that I met Teddy too. I knew me and Teddy would be great friends because we had so much in common (he’d just arrived at Otter Keeper’s house too!).
It’s really hard to imagine how it must have been back then. At that point I didn’t know what sofa bouncing was nor had I ever been exploring with Teddy… I hadn’t even ever had an Otter birthday (and I’ve had two of them now!). But for now I’m very glad I turned up in my box. If not I’d have never met Otter Keeper and Teddy. And I think that would have made me a very sad otter.
A friend on Facebook pointed me to your site and I love it. Have put your banner on my blog. Lara x
Hello, your drawings and your otter ramblings are fantastical. Would like to get in touch by email as I am writing a series of books about a very special Otter named Tobin:) Perhaps they can chat?
Your site (and otter) are absolutely D-E-L-I-G-H-T-F-U-L creations! What a joy!

Otter is soooo addicting. Thank you so much for the whimsy & charm!
Such beautiful illustrations and ramblings. Otter could well be an incarnation of myself (lots of little otters running around my home) lol. Keep up the delightful work
This is the most fun and engaging website I have ever seen. I really admire it and hope to become good friends with Otter. Oh, and with Otter Keeper as well!
Hello again,
The site is awesome. Haven’t had time to check out your past blogs, but I am sure that they are wonderful also. Keep up the good work.

I found you on twitter, looked at the profile picture and thought, “hmm…ottors? that’s new?” I’ve been reading through your site for the past hour. Love your work.
Could you be any more adorable. This is just the cutest site around. Love love love the illustrations and of course the voice of Otter. This made my day!
Dear Otter, Teddy and Otter Keeper,
Mrs. Carbone introduced our Core3 LIT class (Literacy Intervention) to iamotter.com. She thought we would enjoy these stories because we are on the Otter Team at our Middle School.(Except for Justin and Jasmine who are on the Wolves, but we like having them in our class). We have started to read all about you and we are enjoying your illustrations. We have talked about how far the UK is from our school in Connecticut and even looked up the miles (3,367mi/5417.5k).
We are asking for some suggestions from you. We read “About Me” and “It’s my Otter birthday” (sorry to read of the accident) Should we read the stories in order. Next we were wondering which story tells us about the enemy (KATE!)because we are anxious to know more about her!
Thank you for your help. PS we like Otters artwork
