Description: "Told through the language and imagery of the native Mexican flowers and plants comes the life of acclaimed and beloved artist Frida Kahlo. Like a flower, Frida blossomed, wilted, was crushed, survived, and thrived, growing into one of the most celebrated Indigenous painters. This poetic and empowering picture book features the very flora Frida grew in her garden, bought at the market in her hometown, painted in her famous portraits, and wore proudly in a crown around her head"--
Review Quotes: ***STARRED REVIEW***
"Though thin on specific biographical details, by calling attention to the bright, tropical hues of Kahlo and her work, this dazzling whirl of color can't help but kindle an urge to find out more...a soaring, enticing tribute to a strong and distinctive artist."--School Library Journal
