pickWow..... This book was heavily detailed, rich and colorful like the paintings Kahlo was known for.
Hours worth of journal entries from herself as well Diego, letters written by her and to her, articles, and interviews highlight Kahlo and show her as this majestic, larger than life, exotic and fiery individual who captivated so many.

"Eventually Frida decided to show everyone her work. Her pictures caused a great stir in New York City."
This book would be great for the older grades. When the books start to become more informational and in depth, I think that it would be beneficial for the older grades. This would be a great book to highlight the importance of women. It can be entertaining, but also seen as controversial, so take caution while reading through it with children. It is an easy book for children to identify the characters.
pickBiography: Frida Kahlo by Isabel Sanchez Vegara. Published in 2015.
Biography of Frida Kahlo. This book follows the life of Frida Kahlo from her as a child to the impacts she made through her paintings as an adult. It doesn't stray away from the hardships she went through and how she overcame them.
The illustrations are vibrant like her paintings a tell a beautiful story.

It's interesting that Yuyi Morales uses puppets for the art! But, if you are looking for a biography, look elsewhere.
panInteresting illustrations through photography and puppets. There is not much text, which is why I rated it badly, along with the fact it does not tell the reader anything about Frida Kahlo. But, there is Spanish and English on each page, which is cool.
