Storytime: Cynthia Cliff for A Day at the Museum

November 16, 2025 @ 9:30 am - 10:00 am
Free

Join the fun at a busy museum as you help find a lost dog and reunite him with his owner in this playful, picture-filled adventure.

A trip to the museum becomes an exciting game of I Spy in this charming book.

The museum, with its vast halls and endless variety of different exhibits, provides the perfect backdrop for a playful adventure filled with discovery.

Every spread features a busy, double-page illustration of a different room packed with art, artifacts and all sorts of visitors. As children explore the Great Hall, the Dinosaur, Transportation, and Ancient Civilization exhibits, the Art Gallery and Sculpture Garden, as well as the Ocean Hall, they’re invited to search for Pepin, a mischievous dog who has wandered away from his owner, Carlo.

Each room is a lively world of its own, full of activity and a recurring cast of wonderfully diverse characters. As kids search for Pepin on each page, they’ll delight in finding all the little details and humorous moments hidden throughout the scenes.

This playful, interactive book encourages an engaging game of observation, keeping young readers enthralled as they learn about museums and follow Pepin’s trail—right into Carlo’s waiting arms.

Cynthia Cliff grew up in a tiny historic village in rural Virginia surrounded a large extended family, and farms and woodlands where she spent every waking hour. This upbringing provided her with a love of history, nature, and folklore—themes reflected in much of her whimsical and folk-art inspired work. She is a self-taught artist who began her illustration career in 2019 after living many other lives and is now the author and illustrator of several children’s books. Cynthia lives in northern Virginia just outside of Washington, D.C., and works in a little corner studio where she can watch deer and foxes go about their day. She is represented by the Andrea Brown Literary Agency.
