New Release Highlights the Power of Knowledge, Values, and Reflection Through Story

Its themes touch on education, family, love, disappointment, strength, values, theology, and the broader social landscape. Whether approached as an enjoyable story or as a reflective, bibliotherapeutic text, Otis the Ox offers readers the opportunity to extract meaning relevant to their own lives, regardless of age or background.
