From Mike Venezia:  Female artist Frida Kahlo was one of the greatest Mexican artists of the twentieth century. She was born in Coyoacan Mexico, in 1907. Frida grew up during the Mexican Revolution, an event that influenced her life and changed the art of Mexico forever.

The ?Getting to Know the World?s Greatest Artists? series features numerous reproductions (10-20 in each book), photos of the artist, silly cartoons, and simple text. Venezia?s approach ? highlighting interesting parts of the artists? lives and work while keeping the subject matter simple and appropriate for young children ? makes these excellent read-alouds. Older children will enjoy reading the early chapter book-level text themselves.
