Frida

Frida
Written by Jonah Winter
Illustrated by Ana Juan
Arthur A. Levine 2002

Also the author of Diego, Jonah Winter recreated the powerful story of Frida growing up in Mexico. Ana Juan's illustrations captured the true beauty of the story and Frida's style of art to bring to children of all ages. The author did not back away from the pain that Frida suffered but is a wonderful story to be shared.

Activities: This book would be a great introduction to the arts and occupations for older children. It tells about the strength and courage of a woman to fight and persevere despite adversity.
