Religion in Ohio
For Ohio's bicentennial in 2003, the Religious Experience Advisory Council of the Ohio Bicentennial Commission was established to commemorate and celebrate the state's diversity of religions and faith traditions. The end result of the council's efforts, Religion in Ohio tells the story of Ohio's religious and spiritual heritage going back to the state's ancient and historic native populations, and including the westward migration of settlers to this region, the development of a wide variety of faith traditions in the years preceding the mid-twentieth century, and the arrival of many newer immigrants in the last fifty years, each group bringing with it cherished traditions.

Lull-a-bye, Little One
"Lull-a-bye, Lull-a-bye, little one, Dinner's over, bedtime's begun." With these words, a mother and father start the night-time ritual of putting a toddler to sleep. There's "splash-a- bye" time in the bathtub with rubber-duck squeaks and bubble-beard cheeks; "rock-a-bye" time where the whole family sings silly songs together; "hush-a-bye" time with Dad reading and the moon watching from high above; and finally, "Lull-a-bye" time again, as the child gently eases into sleep. With its lilting read-aloud rhythm and Hideko Takahashi's warm, comforting illustrations, Lull-a-Bye, Little Oneis a celebration of the love a family shares at bedtime.
