Amazon.co.uk
"When I was 12 years old, I knew what I wanted--to be an artist." So begins My Name Is Georgia, Jeanette Winter's lovely picture-book portrait of American artist Georgia O'Keefe. It is a portrait of a strong-minded young girl who liked to play by herself, dress differently from her sisters, and let her black hair fly when others wore braids--and it is the portrait of artist who lived to be 98 years old letting the world see things as she saw them through her remarkable paintings. This small book--with sparse, carefully chosen prose--traces O'Keefe's life through her schooling in Chicago and New York, and her first trek to Texas: "And I painted the sunset and the sky and the wonderful loneliness and emptiness of the place. I painted day and night." From there she experienced the "canyons of steel" of New York City, "where other artists lived", then it was off to the New Mexico desert. Winter does an exquisite job of reflecting an artist's creative life... how she wanted others to see flowers the way she saw them, how she painted them "BIG, so people would notice". The author's illustrations, perfect squares on white pages with the occasional cloud or bird drifting out of the lines, make this small, powerful tribute shine. (Ages 6 and older) --Karin Snelson, Amazon.com

"When I was twelve years old, I knew what I wanted--to be an artist." So begins My Name Is Georgia, Jeanette Winter's lovely picture-book portrait of American artist Georgia O'Keeffe.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is a very encouraging book for budding young artists. The illustrations are very nice and the story of Georgia O'Keefe's life is presented in an interesting way. I ordered this as a Christmas gift for my 10-year-old niece, but after reading it I decided to give it to my 7-year-old niece instead. I think the reading level and presentation are more suitable for younger children. A bright 10-year-old would wonder why I gave her "a baby book."
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
While the text is simple, the message is suitable for children of all ages. Not just a book for budding artists, but a wonderful book for any child who has contemplated following his or her own dream instead of following the masses. The illustrations are beautiful and the book as a whole is inspiring.
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
My two year old loves this book despite the fact I am sure she doesn't understand all of the text. The pictures are bold and mirror Georgia O'Keefe's style, and each page has no more than two sentences. If I were to buy this as a gift, I would buy it for a child between the ages of 2 and 6.
