Otto Otter, Sunna Hedgehog & The Premonitions Of Mr. Sun

By Dan Hayashi

A inspirational tale of two adolescent animals; an irreverent orphan named Otto Otter & a tiny sweet female hedgehog, named Sunna. From infancy, Sunna is a sun worshipper, who enlists the wise counsel of her God Father, Mister Sun. Otto Otter and Sunna Hedgehog are BFFs in the country & become inseparable playmates. But, Otto's need to find new distractions outside their village, conflicts with Sunna's inner sensibilities. The two sneak away on an expedition, which becomes a misadventure to an unknown city. They fall asleep after hitching a ride in a box car, ending up far, far away from home. Alone and unprotected in a dark & shadowy beach town, they remember the admonitions & premonitions of Mister Sun. To get themselves safely home they must accept Mr. Sun's guidance, proving to themselves that "all you need is love." The two become successful entrepreneurs.

After a Batchelor's Degree in Fine Arts, with a minor in psychology from Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles, CA in 1968, (now Calif. Inst. of the Arts, Sylmar, CA) I was drafted and spent 2 years in the military. A few years after returning home, my wife & I opened a computer graphics company in Lawndale, CA. We thrived. Though always interested in writing, my literary interests were put aside by business demands, until retiring in 1996. In 2010, I was serendipitously commissioned to illustrate a children's card game & two kid's books by a new company. This re-ignited my desires to combine my writing & caricature skills to publish children's books of my own. It was the perfect culmination of timing & the synergy of friendship. My new friend reinvigorated my dreams of authorship. I wrote & illustrated my first book in 2012, then another in December, 2013. Two more were published Dec, 2014 & June, 2015. I just completed my best so far, August 2015 is a preorder eBook. I have now authored & illustrated 5 animal tales & Illustrated a fellow author's 2 kiddy books & designed his children's card game art. I promise many more children's objects of entertainment & animal stories..

It was a beautiful and sunny day in the lush green meadow, but young Otto Otter, was bored & restless. There’s nothing to do in the country, he grumbled. Otto would stare at the birds and planes passing overhead and dream of someday learning to fly. That’s why he wore what he thought were a pair of aviator goggles he found in the lake.

Otto had no family. You’re wrong! said Sunna, the tiny Hedgehog, There’s lots to do here. We could pretend we are alligators using your water goggles!

They’re flying goggles! Swimming is not flying. There’s nothing exciting here,… like flying! Otto argued.

Sunna disagreed, Otto, you’re negative. She spun around staring to her Godfather, Mister Sun, but only for a second. Then she turned her eyes away. "Mister
