Happy Birthday, Alice Babette by Qin Leng, Monica Kulling

3.0

This book has lovely illustrations, but not enough context into the lives of Gertrude Stein and Alice Toklas, nor Stein's poetry, which is alluded to but not evoked. I think it would do better to pair this one with Jonah Winters' picture book Gertrude is Gertrude is Gertrude is Gertrude, which does a fabulous job of evoking Gertrude's writing and lifestyle, for context.
