Marysville, Kansas, is designated as a Black Squirrel City. To pay homage to the rare animal, the city's convention and tourism committee championed a public art project beginning in 2015. Five-foot tall black fiberglass squirrels. Each statue received a catchy name and was adorn in one-of-a-kind artwork by an area artist or by an artist who has ties to the area.

Seven years later, Photographer Jane Moorman discovered the public art project while driving through the town. She was so amazed at the artwork that she located each and photographed all 51 statues.

This book contains those photographs, plus the statue's name, the artist and the sponsor of the art to commemorate the project that received first place in the community awareness category at the Kansas Tourism Conference in 2017.
