Publisher's Synopsis
Miss Edmonia (a nod to American sculptor, Edmonia Lewis) and her class of elementary--aged WILDFIRES are spending the day at the art museum. Follow Kara-Clementine and Attilio as they explore the museum's collection and discover the character traits that make them special. The Museum Lives in Me (TM) is a picture book series that explores concepts of self-discovery, identity, empowerment, and the power of art, as inspired by our world's museums and the collections within them.
Each books follows a fictional story that features a diverse classroom of children and their teacher as they visit a specific museum, and various sub-stories of emotional growth unfold as each child becomes awestruck and engaged with the exhibits they see.
First inspired by a partnership with the North Carolina Museum of Art, the series was conceptualized and will be written by author and children's bookseller, Victoria Scott-Miller, and the first book in the series will be illustrated by visual artist, Francisco Santoya, with different artists to illustrate subsequent installments.
