Oliver is a happy little otter with strong hands and arms. Unfortunately, he has a big problem. His web feet are so small that he cannot move fast in the water like other otters his age. Because he is not a good swimmer, Oliver is always left behind. While his mother prays that Oliver will not be an outcast otter, he excitedly starts his first day of school. When he is quickly placed in the “oops, needs improvement” swimming class, it is not long before the other otters begin teasing and bullying him. But what no one knows is that Oliver is about to surprise everyone and transform into a hero. In this touching tale, a loveable sea otter who is being bullied at school teaches everyone around him about the importance of forgiveness, doing the right thing, and faith.
