Greetings Readers: Writing about Ozzie the Sea Otter was exciting and, interesting. It has been so much fun opening the ocean world and its amazing marine life to my readers. The colorful illustrations help to bring Ozzies amazing adventures and world to life. Creating a smile on the faces of so many children has always been a joy to me. When you begin to read the book you will not want to put it down. I am thankful so many of you are getting acquainted with this little, loveable Otter. Enjoy! Sincerely, Nora Nora has had a passion for writing since high school. She has spent much of her time writing plays and dramas for churches; especially enjoying costume and scenery design. Nora Dohlke was raised on a small farm in Southern California, spending much of her spare time at the beach. Her love of the ocean was the inspiration for this book.
