A book that refreshes our perspective on art museums, breaking our static and "old" perception of museums with a childlike enthusiasm and energy! Created by American author Susan Verde and award-winning, famous illustrator Peter H. Reynolds, this work is sure to impact both young and old. The book invites the reader into an endless world of imagination through the door of an art museum. Using works by famous artists such as Van Gogh, Picasso, and Rodin, it suggests fun and thought-provoking museum journeys. The liveliness of the pages spills over from its cover; with a young girl who, in front of world-renowned artworks, is overcome with different emotions and lost in dreams, it reminds readers of the various facets of life. Through its illustrations and poetic narrative, this unique work stimulates children’s creativity, whispering freedom to readers of all ages and conveying the effects of art on both mind and body.
Plot
There is someone who enjoys spending time in a museum. One painting inspires them to dance, another makes them hungry. Colors, shapes, curves, and lines… they leave the viewer amazed, but the time spent is so much fun!
Publishers Weekly
“A tempting way to experience art, rather than just understand it as an object.”
Booklist

School Library Journal
“A book that reminds both children and adults how natural it is to laugh, pose, and ask curious questions in a museum.”
