Description
Told in Spanish, this picture book celebrates one of the world’s most influential painters, Frida Kahlo, and the animals that inspired her art and life.
Una visio´n u´nica de Frida Khalo –de su vida extraordinaria y sus mascotas- por la reconocida autora Mo´nica Brown y del ilustrador John Parra, recipiente de los premios Christopher y Golden Kite, asi´ como una mencio´n de Honor del Pura Belpre´.
Frida Kahlo y sus animalitos cuenta la vida de Frida – desde la infancia hasta su ascensio´n como una de las pintoras ma´s influyentes del mundo – captando la belleza y la fuerza del espi´ritu creador de Frida, que la mantuvo a trave´s de la tragedia y el triunfo, y de los animales que la inspiraron a lo largo del camino. Lo innovador del tema de Brown – juega con la idea de que Frida personifica las caracteri´sticas de sus amadas mascotas (dos monos, un loro, tres perros, dos pavos, un a´guila, un gato negro y un cervatillo) – emparejado con el arte de colores audaces de Parra, que nos recuerdan la paleta de la propia Frida, hacen de esta biografi´a una emotiva entrega llena de respuestas para los seguidores de Frida, nuevos y viejos.
Una Seleccio´n Junior Library Guild!
The fascinating Mexican artist Frida Kahlo is remembered for her self-portraits, her dramatic works featuring bold and vibrant colors. Her work brought attention to Mexican and indigenous culture and she is also renowned for her works celebrating the female form.
Monica Brown’s story recounts pivotal moments in Frida’s life and the beloved pets who comforted her along the way—two monkeys, a parrot, three dogs, two turkeys, an eagle, a black cat, and a fawn—and playfully considers how Frida embodied many wonderful characteristics of each animal.
