Children will be delighted by this newest addition to the highly-acclaimed Anholt's Artists series. This time, award-winning author and illustrator Laurence Anholt tells the charming story of Frida Kahlo and the Bravest Girl in the World. When a little girl named Mariana is sent to have her portrait painted by Frida, she is scared. "Well, that's okay," Frida tells her. "Everyone feels scared sometimes. Now take my hand and let's go inside." Soon, Mariana learns that Frida's home is full of wonders, and her studio is brimming with strange but beautiful paintings. As Mariana sits for her portrait, she learns all about Frida's life, and begins to think of her as the bravest woman in the world. Frida thinks Mariana is very special too—and she's got a wonderful surprise in store for her.

Told through the perspective of Mariana, a real child who knew Frida Kahlo, this wonderful story features seven paintings from this famous artist, and is the perfect way to introduce young readers to her life and work.
