Susan Verde

Warwick's is hosting Susan Verde on Tuesday, August 19th at 11:00am to present her debut book, The Museum, a rhythmic celebration of the emotional reactions that children have to art. Only books purchased from Warwick's will be signed. Please call the Warwick's Book Dept. (858) 454-0347 for details. As a little girl tours and twirls through the halls of an art museum, she finds herself on an exciting artistic adventure. The Museum is written in exuberant rhyming verse by debut author Susan Verde and features bright, crisp illustrations by bestselling artist Peter H. Reynolds. It playfully captures the many emotions experienced by children when they encounter—and are enchanted by—art.

Each piece of art evokes something new inside the girl: silliness, curiosity, joy, and, ultimately, inspiration.

This one makes me want to pose and stand up on my tippy-toes. I’m skipping through a field of flowers. I could keep this up for hours. I’m giddy from all these lines and squiggles. I collapse in fits of giggles. I take a breath, can’t wait to see what’s next.

Finally, when confronted with an empty canvas, she is at first confused by its blankness but then energized to create and express herself—which is the greatest feeling of all. Her spontaneous responses to the works she sees capture how any child might react.

The work of an unbeatable team, Susan Verde’s text shines and is brought to life by Peter H. Reynolds art. Reynolds is the author and illustrator of the bestselling and award-winning picture books The Dot, Ish, and The North Star.
