Summary
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. Brown's story recounts Frida's beloved pets--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.
Frida Kahlo y sus animalitos cuenta la vida de Frida -- desde la infancia hasta su ascenión como una de las pintoras más influyentes del mundo -- captando la bellleza y la fuerza del espíritu creador de Frida, que la mantuvo a través de la tragedy y el triunfo, y de los animales que la inspiraron a lo largo del camino. -- Publisher description from front jacket flap
