Young Frida Kahlo's imaginary friend comes to life in a touching story
by Anthony Browne enhanced by exquisite surreal illustrations.
Following a bout with polio at the age of six, Frida Kahlo's life was
marked by pain and loneliness. In real life she walked with a limp, but
in her dreams she flew. One day her imagination took her on a journey to
a girl in white who could dance without pain and hold her secrets, an
indelible figure who would find her way into Frida's art in years to
come. Inspired by Frida Kahlo's diary, Anthony Browne captures the
essence of the artist's early flights of fancy and depicts both Frida
and her imaginary friend in vivid illustrations evoking Kahlo's iconic
style. A note at the end offers a brief biography of the artist who has
intrigued art lovers the world over.
