Summary:
This book takes a young girl through a museum to tour it. Every artwork excites her and makes her heart happy. From the paintings to the statues her heart is full and content. The museum is inspiring her so much that when she sees a blank canvas she imagines it being filled with all kinds of color on it and it is decorated like she wants it.
The museum closes but she is not sad about it because she knows that the art she loves lives inside of her.
I would use this book between the ages of 8-10. I think it is age-appropriate, it is long enough for them to practice reading longer books but also engaging.
I would read this book to my class before we did an art project. The art project would be to draw or paint something that they as an individual enjoys doing.
