Some otters just aren't built for slow, and tonight, we find out why that's a very good thing.

Oliver Otter has never met a job he didn't want to help with. The trouble is, his paws move quite a bit faster than his thinking does, and on the morning of the Harvest Festival, that energy turns into a very purple mishap.

When a passing comment stings more than it should, Oliver decides there's only one fix: become a slower, quieter, more careful otter. He tries. He really tries. But when the creek rises without warning and friends are stranded on the far bank, the whole Hollow discovers that the very thing Oliver tried so hard to change about himself is exactly what saves the day.

Curl up and join us in Bumble Book Hollow for a joyful, splashy story about big energy, big hearts, and learning that you don't have to shrink yourself to fit in.
