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, inspired by our world's museums and the collections within them.
Each book follows a fictional story featuring a diverse classroom of children and their teacher as they visit a specific museum. 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; the first book will be illustrated by visual artist Francisco Santoya, with different artists illustrating subsequent installments. Lexile: 550L[Miss Edmonia's Class of Wildfires] is a fun read aloud that captures the excitement of discovering a museum for the first time. It's imaginative, clever and full of heart and the art is beautiful! --Mirelle Ortega, author-illustrator of Magic: One Upon a Faraway Land, 2023 Pura Belpré Award Honor Book for Illustration
Victoria Scott-Miller's first title in The Museum Lives in Me series (Miss Edmonia's Class of Wildfires) takes a creative, affirming approach to introduce students to art and art museums. Dynamic educator Miss Edmonia (reminiscent of the iconic Ms. Frizzle), creates a pathway for her students to find independent points of connection to art despite some of their very real reservations (it's boring)! An inspiring read with beautiful illustrations. Looking forward to seeing more! --Alliah Agostini, award-winning author of The Juneteenth Story and Big TuneAlso from
