Friday Comes on Tuesday: An Adventure at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art - Hardcover

by Darcy Pattison (Author), Rich Davis (Artist)

Winner, 2022 Susannah DeBlack Award, Arkansas Historical Association

The delightful story of Friday, a dog who discovers that the world of art is filled with many wonderful friends.

A dog in an art museum? Maybe not most dogs, but Friday goes to the museum every Tuesday to visit his friends. One day Friday must say goodbye for the winter. Join the fun as Friday trots through the galleries, taking photos and saying goodbye to Maman the spider, Rosie the Riveter, George Washington, and many others.

Looking back on his day, Friday realizes that the works of art in a museum are more than just bronze and steel, paint and canvas, ink and paper. Instead, the art connects him--and us--to a diversity of cultures, stories, and dreams.

Through the art collection at Crystal Bridges, all of us--even a dog--become part of the American experience.
