Overview
A través del lenguaje y la belleza de las flores y plantas nativas de México, cobra vida la historia de la aclamada y querida artista Frida Kahlo. Como un capullo, Frida floreció, se marchitó, fue pisoteada, sobrevivió y renació, hasta convertirse en una de las pintoras autóctonas más célebres.
Este poético y poderoso álbum ilustrado, escrito por Nydia Armendia-Sánchez e ilustrado por Loris Lora, ganadora del Premio de Honor Pura Belpré, presenta las mismas flores que Frida cultivó en su jardín, que compró en el mercado de su ciudad natal, que pintó en sus retratos más famosos y que lució con orgullo en una corona sobre su cabeza.
El libro incluye material adicional: una guía ilustrada y etiquetada de todas las flores y plantas mencionadas, una nota de la autora y una actividad para que los niños creen su propia corona de flores.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A lyrical and inspiring picture book about the life of Frida Kahlo—told through the language of flowers—and how she blossomed into a celebrated, beloved artist
Like a seed / Frida sprouted / And burst through the earth where / the coyotl once foraged.
Coyoacán was the place where Frida grew.
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, written by Nydia Armendia-Sánchez and illustrated by Pura Belpré Honor awardee Loris Lora, 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. Back matter will include a labeled, illustrated guide to all the flowers and plants featured, an author’s note, and an activity for kids to make their own flower crown!
