"Bryant writes in spare, lyrical verse, honoring her subject's idiosyncratic impressions and precise observation of the natural world.Andersen, for her part, strides bravely into O'Keeffe's considerable shadow. this bold, beautiful rendition has a certain nonconformist flair that surely would have earned O'Keeffe's stamp of approval." -- Booklist "Bryant's lyrical text serves as a gentle introduction to a remarkable artist. Andersen is sensitive to O'Keeffe's style and subject matter, foreshadowing some of her famous paintings in scenes throughout the book. A fine first look at O'Keeffe." --School Library Journal "This spare narrative follows Georgia O'Keeffe's creative growth from her childhood to her vision-changing encounter with the New Mexico landscape . The illustrations manage to convey the drama of O'Keeffe's subjects as well as the vistas that surrounded her.

Useful for introducing youngsters to the notion of artistic vision." --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books.
