Georgia in Hawaii: When Georgia O'Keeffe Painted What She Pleased by Amy Novesky

3.0

This is a beautiful book about a stubborn artist who refuses to paint what she's paid to paint (a pineapple for Dole). I liked it a lot up until the ending. The last page of the story reads, "And Georgia painted a pineapple!" but it doesn't show the painting of the pineapple. Anticlimax to the max. I had to google image search "Gerogia O'Keefe pineapple" to see it, and it doesn't really look like a pineapple. Then I saw that the illustration on the Author's Note page does indeed show a partially obscured version of Georgia's pineapple painting, but there's no way a young reader would know that without first knowing what the pineapple painting looked like.

So, a great fun book, with an ending that leaves the reader hanging.
