My comments: Fun story, lots to examine, with a great message and a little bit of "mysticism." The young boy is given a flying airplane-type toy and he plays with it throughout the museum, until it's caught by another boy. At first he's upset, but when he "loses" his parents, upon finding them, both families make friends.
Goodreads: From Caldecott Medalist Matthew Cordell, Explorers is a new picture book about an extraordinary trip to a museum.
When a family goes to a local museum, a boy notices a homeless man sitting outside, making brightly colored origami birds. He convinces his dad to buy a bird the man makes just for him.
Once inside the museum, his little sister takes the bird and launches it into the air. Is it lost? Soon another boy helps him look, and the paper bird brings two families―and two new friends―together.
With the style he used in Wolf in the Snow, Matthew Cordell shows how an ordinary family outing can be both extraordinary and magical.
