- Summary:
- Chronicles Frida's life, from her childhood to her rise as one of the world's most influential painters, capturing the creative spirit that carried her through tragedy and triumph and the pets that inspired her along the way.
- 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. -- Amazon.com
