When Kayumi Nakano wrote and illustrated 'The Fluffy Otter' for her yochien students she had no idea how much her life would change. Now, five years later, The Fluffy Otter has been translated into 18 languages and had five sequels (The Fluffy Otter's Den, The Fluffy Friends, The Fluff Wars, etc.). Though Kayumi enjoys the travel and attention she fears that her true passion - children's education - is getting lost in the shuffle. #juupo45 #japanese #author #otter
