Otto was a perfectly lovely child… although there was the slight thing of his temper. After Otto hit his mother in the eye with a fork, his family had to start wearing helmets at the dinner table, and his father couldn’t help but issue a small prayer. “Dear universe,” he whispered, “please send us something to calm this boy down.” Enter Ronnie. In graphic designer and author Sam de Groot’s fable of modern parenting, psychoanalytic intrigue meets Aesopian Bildungsroman as we follow the tale of a boy and his fox. A story of soft orange paws and sharp teeth, this book asks: How do we learn to understand our deepest emotion, what creatures lurk beneath the surface of our minds, and to what lengths will parents go to placate their child? Released to coincide with the launch of Dinamo Typefaces ABC Otto family, a cheerful text font with a sturdy, wide rhythm designed by Sam de Groot and Laura Opsomer Mironov, this beautifully designed artist book is an homage to various histories and forms of storytelling. Illustrated by Hannah Robinson. Children may proceed with caution.
