Frida Kahlo y sus Animalitos, written by Monica Brown and illustrated by John Parra, is based on the life of one of the world's most influential painters, Frida Kahlo, and the animals that inspired her art and life. 

Brown's story recounts Frida's beloved pets—two monkeys, a parrot, three dogs, two turkeys, an eagle, a black cat, and a fawn—and playfully considers how Frida embodied many wonderful characteristics of each animal. 

Frida Kahlor y sus animalitos cuenta la vida de Frida -- desde la infancia hasta su asceniâon como una de las pintoras mâas influyentes del mundo -- captando la bellleza y la fuerza del espâiritu creador de Frida, que la mantuvo a travâes de la tragedy y el triunfo, y de los animales que la inspiraron a lo largo del camino. -- Publisher description from front jacket flap
