Frida Kahlo''s work comes to life—literally—in this magical realist novel, the latest addition to Watson-Guptill''s acclaimed Art Encounters series. The story alternates between Kahlo''s home in Mexico City, Casa Azul, and the journey of a teenage girl and her young brother, lost in the city. At the mystical Casa Azul, everything with a face talks—including Kahlo''s pet monkey, her cat, portraits on the wall. Over the course of the book, the cover painting, Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird, transforms from a nightmarish vision of death into a life-affirming masterpiece. This dramatic story offers a vivid reimagining of the life and work of a woman as well known for her amazing life as for her amazing art.• Laban Hill is a National Book Award Finalist and recipient of the Parents Choice Gold Award• Frida Kahlo is one of the most popular artists among young people today-her art and her blazingly flamboyant style make her eternally up-to-date• Ties in to school curriculum in art and social studiesFrom the Hardcover edition.
