For B2BR’s 13th year we will join Indiana Humanities’ initiative, One State / One Story: World of Wonders: In Praise of Fireflies, Whale Sharks, and Other Astonishments as
our reading selection. We’ll have opportunities to come together to
read, discuss and discover author Aimee Nezhukumatathil’s collection of
28 shortessays celebrating the natural world and all its wonders .
One State / One Story
One State / One Story: World of Wonders has been made possible through a grant from Indiana Humanities in cooperation with the National Endowment for the Humanities and is offered in partnership with the Indiana State Library and Indiana Center for the Book.
