Like a tiny bird in a big city, Frida Kahlo feels lost and lonely when
she arrives in San Francisco with her husband, the famous artist Diego
Rivera. It is the first time she has left her home in Mexico. And Frida
wants to be a painter too.
But as Frida begins to explore San Francisco on her own, she discovers
more than the beauty, diversity, and exuberance of America. She finds
the inspiration she needs to become one of the most celebrated artists
of all time.
Me, Frida is an exhilarating true story that encourages children to
believe in themselves so they can make their own dreams soar.
Praise for Me, Frida
The writing is lucid, the emotions are universal, and the illustrations
soar. Glowing with warm, vibrant colors, the charcoal and acrylic
paintings create distinctive, statuesque people within imaginatively
conceived landscapes, cityscapes, and interiors. -Booklist
