Frida Kahlo’s Flower Crown
Nydia Armendia-Sanchez
A lyrical and inspiring picture book about the life of Frida Kahlo-told through the language of flowers-and how she blossomed into a celebrated, beloved artist
Like a seed / Frida sprouted / And burst through the earth where / the coyotl once foraged. Coyoacan was the place where Frida grew.
Told through the language and imagery of the native Mexican flowers and plants comes the life of acclaimed and beloved artist Frida Kahlo. Like a flower, Frida blossomed, wilted, was crushed, survived, and thrived, growing into one of the most celebrated Indigenous painters.
This poetic and empowering picture book, written by Nydia Armendia-Sanchez and illustrated by Pura Belpre Honor awardee Loris Lora, features the very flora Frida grew in her garden, bought at the market in her hometown, painted in her famous portraits, and wore proudly in a crown around her head.
Back matter will include a labeled, illustrated guide to all the flowers and plants featured, an author's note, and an activity for kids to make their own flower crown!
