CITY IS ME

The projects for children and adults, in which you not only get the information, and after which the feeling of the power appears, are so close to me. The city is Me. And it depends on me — small and big, what will be happening in the city. In life.
This book is very eco-friendly. Not only because it has a lot of stories about ecology too. It has ecological approach to people, ideas, places. The book has a lot of information about the structure of the cities, many different unexpected information for adults as well, there are ideas that can be incarnated immediately, there is the opportunity to form new habits.
One of the chapters describes how the budget of the city is formed. And about the Public budget. And today I have seen the information about the projects, which are given to the support of PB. I told my daughter, reminding that we had read about it in the book: "Mother, nevertheless we will choose and vote!". From small responsibilities and choices, the feeling of power is formed.
The city is Me. The country is Me. The life is Me.

"I have a strong connection to the theme of the city, as one of the most iconic songs is titled 'City,' and the foundation we collaborate with throughout the entire period is called 'This is My City.' In general, the theme of urbanism is very important, especially since everything is very neglected, and the war has worsened it hundreds of times. Therefore, this theme is crucial and very painful. We have beautiful cities, incredible heritage, but it is often neglected, filled with ugly, illogical, inconvenient structures. I see a generation ready to fix this. Of course, we need to win this war first and then rebuild our cities, taking into account the aspects discussed in the book.
I love the Ukrainian language, both in written and spoken form. Perhaps, someday, I will venture into dubbing films and cartoons because it is fascinating. The challenge of narrating an audiobook was very pleasant for me, as I am a fan of correct and beautiful pronunciation. It resonated with me because I already knew about this book, and I liked it a lot."

"Knigolove mission is to publish books that help readers change themselves and change the world around them. We couldn’t but publish the book "City is me". It tells children how city is functioning, how many mechanisms it should turn on to make it comfortable for citizens — so that they could have tap water every morning, enjoy heating in winter, walk around clean streets, etc. But it also teaches how every citizen, even the youngest one, can change their city right now and become responsible. Our cities need responsible citizens".

Iryna Ozymok's book is an excellent guide that teaches love for the city. 'I am in the city' is a book of the future. As I read it, I imagined the generation of modern schoolchildren who will grow up to be responsible citizens, knowing why to sort waste, how to address people with disabilities correctly, and how to travel the world. There is a lot of useful information here, presented in graphics and illustrations to avoid overload. Personally, I learned a lot of new things.
In her main profession, Iryna is involved with cities and loves them. And now, she has become an author to instill this love in children.
It's heartening that such caring and talented individuals like Iryna will improve the lives of cities in the future. Together with her, new generations of residents of Vinnytsia, Kyiv, Odesa, and Zhytomyr, after reading this book, will contribute to the enhancement of urban life.

"My son is 4, and I am now fostering a love for reading in him. Actually, sometimes he is doing the same to me when it comes to reading before sleep. In my son I see, that this generation aspires to discover the world, and is not afraid of book, as people tend to think. The only thing is that books should be interactive and entertaining. "City is me" is exactly the one, with its playful and interesting content allowing kids to learn about cities and the world around us. I’m sure, this is the book of the future and I think such writings are the best for our kids to start with, because later they will definitely read adult literature with pleasure".
