Me, Frida

Description

Like a tiny bird in a big city, Frida Kahlo feels lost and lonely when she arrives in San Francisco with her husband, the famous artist Diego Rivera. But as Frida begins to explore San Francisco on her own, she discovers the inspiration she needs to become one of the most celebrated artists of all time. Me, Frida is an exhilarating true story that encourages children to believe in themselves so they can make their own dreams soar.

Amy Novesky is a children's book editor and author. She lives with her family just north of San Francisco. David Diaz is the Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator of Smoky Night. He is also a three-time Pura Belpr\u00e9 Honor recipient. He lives in Carlsbad, California.

Praise for Me, Frida"The writing is lucid, the emotions are universal, and the illustrations soar. Glowing with warm, vibrant colours, the charcoal and acrylic paintings create distinctive, statuesque people within imaginatively conceived landscapes, cityscapes, and interiors." -Booklist
