(4) K-3 Illustrated by Calef Brown. In this look at the American-expat avant-garde writer, Winter mimics Stein's style--repetitious, rhythmic, sometimes nonsensical. The text touches on her life and famous friends ("It's Henri Matisse with a beard beneath his teeth"). The acrylic illustrations, spare in composition, are sumptuous in shading. It's a clever exercise, but young readers might lose patience with the book's abstractions.
