What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Gertrude is Gertrude is Gertrude is Gertrude puts the fun front and center, both in the lives of the artists it describes, and in its emulation of its titular writer’s style.” – Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books”‘Thank you for this cow’ the story ends but it is really just beginning because readers will want to go back to the words and the colors and the tea and Alice and Gertrude and having bright, sparkling fun with words and colors and tea.” – Kirkus Reviews“Taking his title from Gertrude Stein’s famous saying about a rose, Winter (Frida) crafts a Steinesque ‘word portrait’ of the modernist author.” – Publisher’s Weekly
