Viva Frida

"In Viva Frida, Yuyi Morales combines fewer than 20 words with tactile, beautiful illustrations to create something astonishing: a book simple enough for very small children to understand, but complex enough to evoke the work and life of Frida Kahlo. Morales’ lush illustrations, a unique combination of digital painting and meticulously photographed models of clay and felt, communicate the incredible richness of Kahlo’s artistic vision and demonstrate the depth of apparently simple sentences like: “I dream. Sueño?” Complete with an illuminating and personal author’s note, Viva Frida is a wonderful way to introduce kids to an incredible artist. (For ages 4 to 8)"
