About this book
Frida Kahlo, the Mexican artist, had an interesting and eventful life. After suffering with polio as a child, she was later involved in a bus accident that left her in constant pain. From her bed, she painted pictures of her life - depicting great emotion and passion.
With bold and colourful illustrations, and a facts and photos section at the back, Frida Kahlo's extraordinary life is simply told in picture book form for young children. A lovely book in the inspiring 'Little People, BIG DREAMS' series about remarkable people.
