Reviews:

“This amazing children’s book was written by Louise Borden and illustrated by some very talented young artists... Developed by the Cincinnati Storyteller’s Project, a sub-group of the volunteers of C-Change Class 7, the book was created from a desire to evoke civic pride and family activity in the City of Cincinnati while promoting child literacy in the community. What better way to tell Cincinnati’s story than through the eyes of local children, right? The end project was Cincinnati – Our City, Our Story.” - Family Friendly Cincinnati
