This picture book tribute to Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo, describes how debilitating illness as a child and an accident in her 18th year caused her to turn to art as a solace and source of inspiration. The simple text is an accompaniment to dazzling, dreamlike paintings by Ana Juan - which pay homage to Frida Kahlo's fascination with Mexican culture and folk-art. An author's note summarises Kahlo's career and rise to world-wide renown.
