Bigger Than Me: My Story, My Culture
A collaboration between Ohio State and the Bexley Public Library for a series of intergenerational workshops to support children and their families research and write their own heritage stories.
Bigger Than Me: My Story, My Culture is a new children’s book series that nests personal stories within broader family and cultural histories, empowering children who have grown up away from their countries of family origin to connect or reconnect with their cultural heritage. This pilot program, led by Dr. Michelle Wibbelsman (Department of Spanish and Portuguese) and Youth Services Manager Julie Perdue at Bexley Public Library, is modeled on the children’s book On the Wings of the Condor featured in WOSU’s Columbus Neighborhoods segment “Genealogy for New Generations.”
