Mi and Museum City - Softcover
A ridiculously wacky, hugely entertaining picture book simply jam-packed with detail, and including a pull-out "A-Z of museums" poster
Mi lives in Museum City. With so many museums to visit, you would think Mi would have lots to do. But he's bored and lonely; the city is full of museums about uninteresting things and the people who own those uninteresting things. But a beautiful sound leads him to Yu (a big, tall thing) and together they try to persuade the mayor to open museums about some of the more enjoyable things in life, such as The Museum of Starlit Benches Arranged at Different Heights for Pebble-Dropping and Other Fun Things. Will they succeed, and revolutionize Museum City?

About the Author:
Linda Sarah is a debut picture book author/illustrator.
From School Library Journal:
Gr 1–4—Despite the plethora of museums in Mi's city, he and his newfound musician friend, Yu, suffer ennui. No longer content with choices like the "Museum of One Million Completely Boring Things," the duo visit the mayor (a mustachioed piglike creature) with a proposal to begin a museum about "the sounds pebbles make when dropped from different heights onto different surfaces." The mayor is finally won over by a demonstration. This museum's success inspires other citizens' unusual openings, like a museum of three billion raindrops with one piece of lost rainbow and one for "very interesting but useless things." Some buildings grow, while others fly. Sarah's small and delicate line drawings are ideal companions for this fabulous nonsense. Every page is totally packed with comic elements both visual and verbal. From the blob animal heroes to the Museum of Unnecessary Words at the Back of Books, each careful drawing is a delight. VERDICT Prepare to spend hours savoring this book that advocates creative community involvement.—Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA
