Ah yes, she saw beauty even in such small things as a flower, that's a sentiment that was never used before. I will try to remember looking at her paintings later, this book really inspires one to do that.

I usually enjoy reading the Little People Big Dreams series. And while this one is a simple enough introduction to the life of Georgia O’Keeffe, it just doesn’t work the way the other books in the series do. Although the pictures are cute, and all that, they do not show hear art, and that is what was important about O’Keeffe, it was her art. The way she drew flowers was unique. To not even give a hint, a stylized cartoon version, leaves a big gap in why children should be interested in her.
As you can see below, the pictures are quite fun, but no art shown anywhere.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

Loved this simple introduction to Georgia O'Keeffe. I don't know much about her life, so I learned and benefited from this book.
Thanks, NetGalley, for the read.

Georgia O'Keeffe saw the world in her own special way, and her paintings reflect that.

Georgia O'Keefe is not someone I have heard of before, but this introduction was fascinating, and again she is someone I would like to find more out about.
If this series does anything, and it does more than this, but it does lead you to want to find out more about the people you have read about.
Another fascinating read in this series.

This is a children's biography of Georgia O'Keefe. Cute but a little incomplete, and definitely best for younger readers.

didn't know who this was but was familiar with her work. Oops. This brings the feeling of Georgia O'Keeffe through the illustrations and information very well. Enjoyed this and was surprised it was already ending, ha.
Recommend: Yes, great for in the classroom or home library. Easy to use in a class lesson or as part of a lesson depending on the age group you're working with.

My favorite edition of the "Little People, Big Dreams" series thus far. The artist was able to seamlessly translate O'Keeffe's work into the theme of the book.
