Description
Book Introduction
A picture book about the birth of a family
"I'm Not Your Mother!" is a picture book that talks about the birth of a family.
Otto is wary of the strange creature that emerged from the oddly shaped egg, but he can't turn away from the furry creature that calls him "Mom!" at first sight.
This compassion gradually begins to turn to discontent as the search for Furry's mother drags on indefinitely, and Furry grows larger and more encroaching on Otto's life.
But Otto, who lost patience and ran away from home, feels something big settle in his heart.
Just like the little prince and the fox in Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince, Otto and the furry friend had become accustomed to each other and had become one-of-a-kind, special beings in the world.
Finally, instead of looking for their furry mother, they accept each other as family.
Sometimes, an encounter comes unexpectedly and shakes up the quiet of everyday life.
Marianne Dubik softly conveys the delicate emotional changes that occur when a chance encounter with a stranger becomes family.
Readers may think of family, friends, or pets, depending on their own experiences and feelings.
You'll find yourself smiling, feeling nervous, moved, and sighing in relief as you immerse yourself in Otto and his furry friend's story.

Publisher's Review
A story of chance encounters and the birth of a family told by Otto and Furry.
This is a heartwarming new story from Marianne Dubich, a picture book author who understands children's hearts, following "The Lion and the Little Bird."
I've been living well all this time!
One day, Otto found a green egg with sharp thorns in front of his house.
The little white furry thing that came out of the green egg saw Otto and called out, “Mom!”
After some hesitation, as night fell, Otto decided to bring the furry creature into his home and let him stay for the night.
The next day, I thought I should find the furry's real mother.
But the next day, and the day after that, the furry mother was nowhere to be found.
Meanwhile, the furry one grew by the day and soon became big enough to fill the house.
Finally, Otto, unable to bear his life in such a mess, cries and blames the furry creature.
"Who on earth would think to bring such a huge, furry creature to my doorstep? I've been living a good life!"
Will Furry ever find his mother? And will Otto ever return to his old life? The touching story of Otto the squirrel and his adorable furry friend unfolds.
A picture that perfectly conveys the character's emotions
Marianne Dubich, who wrote and illustrated this book, has created a heartwarming story that reminds us of the true meaning of family, using short texts and rhythmic arrangements.
The alternating scenes of Otto trying to find Furry's mother and Furry growing up create a sense of rhythm, and the use of different sized frames creates a sense of movement and the passage of time in still images.
The story, which continues through the conversation between the two main characters, is made up of short sentences that are easy to read clearly, and the simple and plain colored drawings drawn with pencil and watercolor paints convey the characters' emotions to the reader, leaving a lasting impression.
