The Museum of Everything

By Lynne Rae Perkins

Book Overview

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.
