review:
'Georgia O'Keeffe' by Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara with illustrations by Erica Salcedo is part of the Little People, Big Dreams series and tells the story of a famous painter.
Starting out when she was small, Georgia O'Keeffe viewed the world differently than others. She liked to sketch the world around her while other children played. She declared early on that she would be a painter. When she moved to the city, she wanted others to notice simple things like flowers, so she painted them closely. In her later life, she moved to New Mexico.
I liked this story and it's illustrations. I especially like that the illustrator didn't try to imitate O'Keeffe's art. I think this gives the reader an opportunity to show the child some examples of the real work as part of the reading. The story is told simply and the book ends with a brief biography with some real photos of Georgia O'Keeffe.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Frances Lincoln Children's Books, Quarto Publishing Group, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
