I’m Sam, I’m 33 and I live in Wokingham! I have a degree in illustration and I spend most of my time drawing Otters whilst generally making a mess and thinking about why I still haven’t bought a kitten. I like putting inappropriate sweets in the freezer (Jelly tots) and my favourite film is Homeward bound. I wish I looked cool wearing headbands but I don’t. Oh and I’m rubbish at looking after house plants.

I'm more than delighted that you've created Otter In Space. Please tell Otter when she comes to America she must pop in and visit me. We have got lots to talk about. Plus my entire holt is very otter friendly so she will feel right at home. And of course we will dine at The Lucky Otter in Asheville, NC

Hi Sam!
Thanks for the request. I Am Otter is fantastic. Been a fan for quite some time. It's just so wonderful.

I Am Otter was so cute! I had to put it on hold at the library where I work because it's been checked out since it hit the shelves. It finally came in today and made my Tuesday a happier day!
