Â  When I see a work of art, something happens in my heart!, As a little girl tours and twirls through the halls of the art museum, she finds herself on an exciting adventure. Each piece of art evokes something new inside of her: silliness, curiosity, joy, and ultimately inspiration. When confronted with an empty white canvas, she is energized to create and express herselfâ€”which is the greatest feeling of all., With exuberant illustrations by Peter H. Reynolds, ,The Museum, playfully captures the many emotions experienced through the power of art, and each childâ€™s unique creative process.,
  ,Praise for ,The Museum,
, "Verde and Reynolds deliver a simple premise with a charming payoffâ€¦ this â€œtwirly-whirlyâ€ homage to a museum is, on balance, a sweet-natured and handsome celebration.", â€”,Kirkus Reviews, "Debut author Verde makes an engaging case for understanding art as an experience rather than an object.", â€”,Publishers Weekly, "The rhymed text captures the excitement of a being sparked by art.â€, â€”,Booklist, "Communicates a fresh, playful, childlike perspective on art and normalizes childlike responses to it. The idea that posing, laughing, and curious questions are all appropriate museum behavior may be a new one for both children and parents, and knowing this is sure to make for more enjoyable museum visits.", â€”,School Library Journal, "For parents who have trouble communicating the excitement of art to their children, The Museum can serve as the starting point for a conversation. The book is also a wonderful reminder of visual artâ€™s power to encourage and empower self-expression. Children and adults will finish this book excited about their next art experience, and perhaps tempted to dance through the halls of a museum in the near future.", â€”,Bookpage, "This playful picture book pays tribute to the joyous effect art can have on the viewer.", â€”,Shelf-Awareness
