Critics Review
Expressive acrylic paintings expertly evoke Kahlo’s style and color palette. – Vicky Smith * Kirkus Reviews *
With their folk-art sensibility, Parra’s elegant acrylic paintings evoke Kahlo’s style, her palette and her Mexican environment, but he creates a mood of harmony with the natural world and a lively, cheerful abundance all his own. * New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Books 2017 *
This unique and gorgeous take on the famous figure’s work will give children an accessible entry point to an important artist. A good choice for picture book biography shelves. – Shelley M. Diaz * School Library Journal *
Parra’s warm, weathered paintings are done in a flattened, folk-art style that vividly evokes the Mexican environment and “heritage of which she was very proud. * Publishers Weekly *
Featuring charming visuals and lively, often lyrical prose, this picture book introduces Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, interweaving biographical details while highlighting her special relationships with pets…Rich-hued, folk art–style illustrations incorporate evocative touches, fanciful details, and collagelike compositions. * Booklist *
