Frida by Jonah Winter

Summary: About the life of an artist named Frida, who suffered many pains but made it through life with her art.

I was curious how the author would make the story of Frida into a children’s book after seeing the R rated movie that won academy awards. This book is simplistic enough that it is appropriate for children. There is an artist’s note at the end that she portrayed traditional characters in Mexican folk art which included funny skeletons, little devils, and sweet jaguars.
