Description

* Winner of the Opera Prima Bologna Ragazzi Award 2017 * * Shortlisted for the Klaus Flugge Prize 2017 * * Nominated for the Kate Greenaway Award 2018 * Follow a little girl on a journey of discovery to find out what museums are and what they hold in store. Brimming with anticipation, our young protagonist encounters giant bugs and peculiar beasts; ancient pots and contemporary paintings; feathery leaves and flowers as big as her own head! Marvelling at objects old, new, out-of-doors and from outer space, she soon realises that her favourite museum of all is waiting for her at home: the Museum of Me! Illustrated in the distinctive, collaged style of debut author Emma Lewis, The Museum of Me explores why we collect and preserve objects, and celebrates how a collection can reflect our identities.
