The Museum of Everything By Lynne Rae Perkins When I was in my school library I instituted a bimonthly display of studentspersonal collections in a prominent display case in the entryway to the library. It was enjoyed by those third graders who put their things on display and everyone else who viewed it. This new picture book by Lynne Rae Perkins explodes this idea of collection displays into a bigger idea. If I were in the school now, I would institute a “Museum of Everything” for every grade with rotating topics throughout the school year. Perkins offers so many possibilities for one to display; a museum of islands, bushes, hiding places,shadows… Her purpose in writing this book and sharing these museum ideas is a much bigger one. Perkins believes that, “the world gets too big and too loud and too busy.” Her remedy for this is to create museums where you can, “look at little pieces of it, one at a time.” She offers a way to slow and quiet down, practice mindfulness and thus to celebrate the wonders of our world. I think it’s a great idea that teachers should use and Perkins makes it easy for teachers to do this on her blog entry
