What are Otto & Bear's story letters?

Otto & Bear’s Letters are monthly illustrated story letters for children. Each letter blends nature-based storytelling, slow-mail magic and gentle adventures that nurture imagination, belonging and a calmer rhythm of childhood.

What age are the story letters for?

The story letters are designed for children aged 5–12, though younger children enjoy them read aloud and older ones connect with the calm, nature-rooted adventures.

How does the monthly story letter subscription work?

Each month, a new illustrated story letter arrives through the post. Children follow Otto the cat and Bear the boy through nature-led adventures, creating a screen-free ritual of imagination and grounding. You can choose monthly, yearly, or gift subscriptions.

Are the letters nature-based?

Yes. Each story letter is rooted in nature, inspired by real travels through Thailand, Costa Rica and Peru. The letters guide children into forests, mountains, rivers and night skies, nurturing a deeper connection with the natural world.

Are the story letters screen-free?

Yes. The Otto & Bear story letters are a fully screen-free storytelling experience. They focus on paper, imagination and a gentle monthly moment of calm.

Do you offer digital versions of the story letters?

Yes. In addition to paper letters sent by post, digital story letters are available for families who prefer an instant download or live internationally.
