My Spanish students loved the book and they love Yuyi Morales! If you have not read her books, do so now. The books are beautiful and the art is amazing. I wish I could buy the Frida doll!

I am a teacher and bought the book to read to my 2nd and 3rd grade students. Then I planned that we would draw and make self-portraits. The reviews were so strong I thought it would be a fabulous book. When I received it I was dismayed. The text is almost non-existent. It consists of poetic phrases such as, "I dream" and "I understand." Most of the pages have one word upon it like "search." The worst book to read to children, we will finish it in two seconds. The book tells nothing about the history of her life, her back pain, her ancestry, life in Mexico, her imagery and artworks, nothing. .. She was a strong woman who spent a large portion of her life painting in bed. There are no reproductions or artistic remakes of her art in the book either. However, the book is beautiful and does have very pretty photographs of dolls and illustrations. As an artist, I found it to be a rather stereotyped and generic view of the soulful inner being of an artist. I don't think it represents the soul and inner being of Frida Khalo herself. She was much more complex and beautiful than the story (words) in this book imply. The illustrations and photographs suggest a much more complex and interesting story, but one that is not uncovered fully in the book. It would have been more compelling to have the beginning part of the book have her in pain in bed painting and then have the book switch to her soul and magical imaginings.To show that she was a survivor who had a gorgeous inner life. It was not at all what I was looking for. If one already knows about Frida and her art, this is fine. Or if you seek a purely poetic book with no background information this is the book for you.

What a beautiful and colorful cover for a picture book. I was really hoping that we would have a remarkable book about the Artist Frida here. But, I hate to be the party pooper here. This was not a good book, I am sad to say. As an adult, it took reading through it 2 or 3 times before totally understanding what the author was trying to say. And, I read and review countless picturebooks! That is not good when an adult has a hard time making sense of a book. My 6 kids had an even harder time. I had all of my kids read this without any input from dear old dad. They all said the same thing: "Huh?" "That book doesn't make any sense." Again, when your target market, your core audience doesn't get the book and doesn't like it, we've got a problem. Art: 2 out of 5 Stars, Writing: 1 out of 5 Stars, Ending: 2 out of 5 Stars, Overall: 2 out of 5 Stars.

Yuyi Morales has created a love letter to Frida Kahlo. On this blog maintained by Julie Danielson http://blaine.org/sevenimpossiblethings/?p=3559 Yuyi has generously detailed how she created this book. Also, it's bilingual.
