Review:
I 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.
