"Drawing saves her from being sad. . . . Instead of crying, she paints herself crying." This picture-book biography of Frida Kahlo is about the great Mexican painter who transformed her childhood illness and catastrophic injury into art. While the quiet words tell of the struggle with polio that kept Kahlo bedridden for months ("That's when Frida teaches herself how to draw") and of the bus accident that left her always in pain, brilliantly colored, acrylic illustrations, in Mexican folk-art style, show the imaginary animals and mythical creatures that kept her company....It's the magic realism that shows and tells the richness of the inner life that makes the painter strong and beautiful. -- Hazel Rochman for Booklist Price: $16.95 Availability: Usually ships in 3-4 business days.
