This book is a biography of the renowned artist Frida Kahlo. It was published in 2004. The book shows and explain the life of Frida with the accompaniment of beautiful illustrations. The book is able to show the life of Frida into a way in which younger readers are able to understand and learn from.
Something that would be hard not to notice throughout this book has to be the illustrations. Through the illustrations, one learns where she is from.

em_lemo I loved this book, and a lot of the things it had to say. One of the sayings that really stuck out to me was,
“Fridas father is an artist and a photographer.
He teachers her how to use a paintbrush.“
This stuck out to me because of how the author was able to incorporate the guidance and help of parents, but also teaches and shows the reader how much he or she is learning from their parents/guardians. 4y

A great introduction to Frida Kahlo, although inconsistent. Parts are glossed over, and parts are oddly focused on. But it covers many basics about the artist, and I think Kahlo would appreciate the art she inspired here.
