Winter, Jonah Gerturde is Gertrude is Gertrude is Gertrude, illustrated by Calef Brown. Atheneum (Simon and Schuster), 2009. PICTURE BOOK. $16.99. The relationships between Gertrude Stein, Hemingway, Picasso, and other famous creative types of that time period are explored within this picture book. While the artwork is extremely entertaining, the text is way beyond any young student trying to understand the meaning of the work. I consulted with a fellow teacher and we both agree that only AP Literature or college-level students will be able to interpret this at all. If such a teacher could be convinced to use a picture book, it could make for a very inspiring lesson plan. COLLEGE – OPTIONAL. Cindy, Library-Teacher
