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. Read more here This pilot program led by Dr. Michelle Wibbelsman (Department of Spanish and Portuguese), Leticia Wiggins (OSU Ethnic Studies Librarian), Hallie Fried (OSU Alumna and Educator) and youth librarians 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.”
