About:

Teachers, librarians, or any lover of art brighten up your school classrooms or library with the iconic art of Frida Kahlo, help students understand a little about this icon for both feminism and the LGBTQ movement with the language and imagery of Frida Kahlo for Girls and Boys. These books also come with customizable bookplates, where one can feature messages such as “In honor of” or “donated by” to add a personal touch to these books. Frida Kahlo’s art is special for so many, and her celebrated art can help young readers learn about how to express themselves in art, while also learning about an important historical figure. One of the few books that have bisexual representation for elementary school-age kids. A children's biography of Mexican feminist artist Frida Kahlo.

Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter known for her many portraits, self-portraits, and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico. Inspired by the country's popular culture, she employed a naïve folk art style to explore questions of identity, post-colonialism, gender, class, and race in Mexican society. Her paintings often had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. In addition to belonging to the post-revolutionary Mexicayotl movement, which sought to define a Mexican identity, Kahlo has been described as a surrealist or magical realist. She is known for painting about her experience of chronic pain.
