Quotes from OBCO:

My 4 year old grandson Ethan and I watched all three of the videos, and then he wanted to watch one of them again in Spanish (and he doesn't speak Spanish). He really had to think about which one was his favorite, so when he decided, HE voted! Thank you for this opportunity!

RAMPART RANGE LIBRARY DISTRICT - WOODLAND PARK We had a young patron who loved the book so much he went home and built his own 'rocket ship' to take him to the moon! 🙂

LAKE COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY - LEADVILLE: We have a very low income community so every opportunity we can get to get books into children's hands is amazing. Also, having them available in English and Spanish is wonderful. We handed books out when our preschoolers came to visit and had different leaders of our community come and read books. The kids loved the book and one of our commissioners said it had been a dream of hers for years to come and read at the library. We now know to have them come back more often.
