About this title

From Booklist:

The Famous Latinos series debuts this year with six biographies by the Guzmans, including this accessible introduction to Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. Beginning with her childhood in Mexico City, this account includes the medical problems that changed her life, her paintings, her two marriages to Diego Rivera, her years in the U.S., her return to Mexico, and the place of art in her life. The sentences and chapters are relatively short, and the type is relatively large, but the look of the book is sophisticated enough to suit older children with lower reading levels. Clearly reproduced and often colorful, the many well-captioned illustrations include reproductions of Kahlo's self-portraits and other paintings, as well as photos of the artist and the people and places she knew. A time line, a glossary, and brief lists of books and Internet sites are appended. Carolyn Phelan
