CBC Showcase: Celebrating National Women's History Month
by Jen Bryant
Illustrated by Bethanne Andersen
Growing up on a Wisconsin farm, Georgia began gathering all sorts of
objects—sticks and stones, flowers and bones. Although she was teased
for her interest in unique shapes and sizes, young Georgia declared:
"Someday, I'm going to be an artist"—and that is exactly what she
became.
Jen Bryant's story of Georgia O'Keeffe celebrates the famous artist's
fascination with natural shapes, "common objects," and her unusual way of
looking at the world. Bethanne Andersen's fluid, graceful illustrations
capture the beauty of O'Keeffe's work and spirit.
