Illustrated by Yuyi Morales * Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

"A rich and unexpected depiction of a treasured artist." Publishers Weekly, starred review

"[A] lush, carefully researched book. Cool, green rainforest settings contrast with brilliant, fuchsia skies in which the protagonist is framed by larger-than-life philodendron, hibiscus, and plumeria." School Library Journal

"An appealing and slightly humorous portrayal of O'Keeffe's artistic vision and determination, along with a peek at the Hawaii of over a century ago. Accessible, unfussy and visually charming." Kirkus
