Details
I Am Texas is the “largest published book in the world,” according to representatives from the Guinness World Records™. Measuring seven feet tall and weighing 496 pounds, the book is an ode to Texas from the perspective of students in grades 3-12 from over 80 school districts. I Am Texas captures what the Lone Star State means to 1,000 young Texans through stories, poetry, and artwork.
The giant book has traveled all over Texas since breaking the Guinness World Record™ in Houston in November 2022. Take your picture with I Am Texas and learn the behind-the-scenes process of its creation.
This exhibition is in partnership with the iWrite Organization and The Bryan Museum.
