I never knew O'Keeffe spent time in Hawaii, so it piqued my interest to run across this title seeing as I'm used to her desert work. Even better, I was doubly excited when I found that Yuyi Morales did the illustrations as she is one of my absolute favorite children's book artists(and authors). The illustrations are so appropriately fluid, vibrant, and lush--combining well the styles of both O'Keeffe and Morales--and Novesky offers enough engaging information to make it an interesting story. I look forward to exploring the near 20 paintings of O'Keeffe's work inspired by the islands. In the story, Georgia in Hawaii, Georgia was asked to come to Hawaii to paint two pictures of pineapples to help promote pineapple juice. Georgia agreed and went to Hawaii. She was greeted by all of these people with different gifts for her. She wanted to live by the pineapple fields, but the Pineapple Company told her only workers live near the fields. They gave her a room and presented her with a pineapple. Georgia was not pleased, and she decided that no one can tell her what to paint. She went out on her own. First she went to Maui to paint the waterfalls, green pleated mountains, different shapes of hardened lava, and the blue sea. Next, Georgia went the the big island of Hawaii. She painted a nana Honua because it reminded her of her favorite desert flower, the jimsonweed. After her tour was over, Georgia had to go back home to present her paintings to the Pineapple Company. She had almost twenty paintings, but none of pineapples. The Pineapple Company was not pleased. Georgia was happy because she got to paint what she wanted, not what she was told to paint. After the meeting, Georgia thought about what the company wanted. Georgia painted two Hawaiian pineapples for the company. This book is about a young girl named Georgia who was hired to paint a pineapple for a pineapple company. She went on a tour around the world to find pineapples to paint but instead painted flowers she seen because she didn't want to be told what she could and could not paint. At the end she reminisced on all the beautiful things she seen when traveling and she painted the pineapple for the company so they wouldn't be mad. This book is good for fourth graders and up because the vocabulary used in the book is too difficult for lower grade levels. This book should be used when teaching metaphors, similes, and description words. This is a non-fictional picture book. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
