I thought I loved Georgia O'Keeffe and then I read this biography and now I KNOW I love her. I cannot wait to find out even more about her.

'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.

This is a fun series of books highlighting different women and one man (David Bowie).
There is a nice life history given and illustrations and pictures. Once we were done, we looked up some art by O'Keefe, and my seven year old marveled at the colors and the artwork.
We have already requested other books in the series.

“Georgia O’Keeffe” focused on her life but didn’t give enough attention to her art and accomplishments. It felt like a lot was missing.

(General series review) These are fabulous stories about great women and men in history (for the most part). The illustrations are so amazing, both for kids and adults. There is a brief history on the person that explains how this person contributed to history and matters

how can you have a book about an artist without featuring any of the artist's work??

I have to say I absolutely adore the little people, big dreams picture book collection. So when I got a chance to read a new addition, I jumped at it. Georgia O’Keefe is not someone I knew before reading this cute little book. It was a fun way to realize who she was. At a very young age, Georgia was inspired to draw not what she saw but what she felt. She found beauty in simplicity. She also found beauty in various places and cities, from Mexico to New York.
This story encourages young children to follow their passions and find their own path on their adventure through life. The colors in this one are so bold! The book's artwork is as awesome as ever.
