You probably don&#8217;t have enough dirt in your house to enable a seed to sprout, but Otto has quit caring: &#8220;Ack! What&#8217;s the point!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Otto spies the seed, a curious thing happens. He starts telling it a story: &#8220;I&#8217;ve seen some marvelous things in my day&#8230;.&#8221; In the morning, the seedling looks a little bit bigger. Day after day, the routine continues until one day, the seedling has become a strong tree, growing out of Otto&#8217;s roof! The tree isn&#8217;t the only thing listening to Otto&#8217;s stories&#8230;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you might expect, the seedling also isn&#8217;t the only thing growing in this charming tale. Otto&#8217;s heart grows too. How do we know? Check the endpapers at the back of the book. The illustrations in this book are fascinating: echoing Otto&#8217;s stories and mood in dreamlike quality. They remind me of several French picture books that have been translated into English. Children will find them interesting, particularly since the media echoes much of what children themselves use (it looks like crayons and colored pencils in some places). All in all, this is a striking and lovely exploration of the power of telling stories. We&#8217;re commanded in Scripture to tell the next generation of the &#8220;marvelous things we&#8217;ve seen in our day,&#8221; aren&#8217;t we? Let Otto inspire us to begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bottom Line:<\/strong> Look for <em>Otto and the Story Tree<\/em> at your local library (although teachers and librarians may want a copy of this for their classrooms!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/category\/book-reviews\/starred-reviews\/\">*indicates a starred review<\/a><\/strong><\/em> (the best of the best in its field)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recommended-reading-at-redeemed-reader\">Recommended Reading at Redeemed Reader <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Review<\/strong>: <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/2025\/04\/miss-prim-goes-wild-by-katy-rose\/\">Miss Prim Goes Wild<\/a><\/em><\/strong> \u2014 another picture book celebrating an older character&#8217;s awakening to beauty and friendship.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Review:<\/strong> <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/2020\/02\/all-in-a-drop-by-lori-alexander\/\">All in a Drop<\/a><\/em><\/strong> \u2014 starred review for this picture book biography illustrated by Mildenberger<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Review<\/strong>: <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/2025\/01\/go-forth-and-tell\/\">Go Forth and Tell <\/a><\/em><\/strong>\u2014 a picture book biography about a real life storyteller<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background has-small-font-size\" style=\"background-color:#c6dadf\"><em>We are participants in the Amazon LLC affiliate program; purchases you make through affiliate links like the one below may earn us a commission.&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/2019\/11\/disclosure-policy\/\"><em>Read more here<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/44p53SE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Buy <em>Otto and the Story Tree<\/em> on amazon.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Otto and the Story Tree is a winsome reminder of the importance and power of stories, both for the hearer and the teller.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":43028,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4013,3,17,25],"tags":[23912,172,528,23831,2669,4129],"class_list":["post-43402","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-b-ages-4-8","category-book-reviews","category-picture-books-2","category-starred-reviews","tag-23912","tag-ages-4-8","tag-book-reviews-2","tag-listable","tag-picture-books","tag-starred-reviews"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.2 (Yoast SEO v26.2) -
