Newbery Medalist Lynne Rae Perkins invites readers on an
imagination-fueled journey through the living museum that surrounds us
all. Luminous, in-the-moment, and full of wonder, The Museum of
Everything inspires readers to slow down and appreciate the world. For
fans of What Do You Do with an Idea?, The Most Magnificent Thing, and
classics such as Time of Wonder and A Hole Is to Dig. Illustrated
with extraordinary dioramas and collages.
When you feel that the world is too big and loud and busy and
distracting, you can pretend that you're in a museum. It's quiet there,
and you can wonder about everything: Is a rock in a puddle an island? Is
a dry spot on the ground on a rainy day the shadow of a car that's just
driven off? There's a museum for everything--for islands and shadows and
clouds and trees, and so much more.
Newbery Medalist and acclaimed picture book creator Lynne Rae Perkins
balances imagination and creativity with curiosity and facts. She has
created the extraordinary artwork in three dimensions--as if each page
is an exhibit or installation in a museum. A transcendent and timely
picture book, The Museum of Everything encourages young readers to
wonder, dream, and explore--and to learn more about the world around
them.
