Frida (Spanish Edition)
by Jonah Winter (Author) Ana Juan (Illustrator)
When her mother was worn out from caring for her five sisters, Frida Kahlo's father gave her lessons in brushwork and color. When polio kept her bedridden for nine months, drawing saved her from boredom. When a bus accident left her in unimaginable agony, her paintings expressed her pain and depression--and eventually, her joys and triumphs. Full-color illustrations.
