Why you should read this book: Colorful and evocative, this richly illustrated book recounts the early childhood of the artist Frida Kahlo. Her early influences, including her father's work, her mother's exhaustion, and the illness and injury that sometimes confined her to bed, are recounted. It is an inspirational story of determination and triumph, or passion and imagination.
