A Creative Child Magazine 2024 BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD, Empowerment Picture Books category

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 is a picture book series that explores concepts of self-discovery, identity, empowerment, and the power of art, as inspired by our world's museums and the collections within them.

Each book follows a fictional story that features a diverse classroom of children and their teacher as they visit a specific museum, and 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, and the first book in the series will be illustrated by visual artist, Francisco Santoya, with different artists to illustrate subsequent installments.
