A young boy learns that art is all around us in this captivating picture book about a day at the museum. We all remember what it was like to be a child in a crowded art museum. It was hard to see, let alone appreciate the art. It got tiring. And there was so much else to look at! Thats the lesson of this ingeniously simple yet profound book about art. It is everywhere-from another visitors elaborate tattoos to the way the sun makes patterns of light on the floor. While other visitors are busy trying to find their way through the museums galleries, or fighting for room to view a masterpiece, our hero examines the gallery upside down from a bench, plays with his shadow, and makes friends with the custodian. With a wink and a nod to serious museum-goers everywhere, Joanne Lius whimsical illustrations remind us that sometimes the best kind of art is the kind you make yourself.
