With the help of his teacher and his friends, Otto begins to piece together the events of that fateful day. He learns about the brave firefighters, police officers, and everyday people who risked their lives to save others. He also learns about the resilience of the American people, who came together in the face of tragedy.

About the Author

Otto Tales: Today is September 11th is written by Amy L. Cohn, a former elementary school teacher and the mother of two young children. She wrote the book in response to her children's questions about 9/11. She wanted to create a book that would help them understand what happened that day and how it has affected the world.

Cohn's book is beautifully illustrated by Mike Blanc, a children's book illustrator with over 20 years of experience. Blanc's illustrations are simple and evocative, and they perfectly capture the emotions of the story.
