Susan Weber's handcrafted quilt depicting Ohio's people, geography, and official symbols is the backdrop for her interactive stories and songs. Ohioans of diverse cultures come to life in students' imaginations along a rich timeline of Ohio heritage. Susan's stories begin with Native American and European settlers and continue with canal diggers, farmers, entrepreneurs, freedom fighters, immigrants and astronauts. Students listen and respond through movement, imitation, sound effects, and voice to stories of Ohioans whose actions made a difference in Ohio's development.
