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 & there was so much else to look at! That's the lesson of this ingeniously simple yet profound book about art It is everywhere-from another visitor's 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 museum's galleries or fighting for room to view a masterpiece our hero examines the gallery upside down from a bench plays with his shadow & makes friends with the custodian With a wink & a nod to serious museum-goers everywhere Joanne Liu's whimsical illustrations remind us that sometimes the best kind of art is the kind you make yourself
