Viva Frida
In this visually stunning tribute to Frida Kahlo, artist Yuyi Morales offers a representation of Kahlo's creative process with stop-motion puppet and paintings, photographed by Tim O'Meara. The result is a work of art in and of itself lovingly created to honor Kahlo, and Morales shares her own process of creating the book in this video. Since the text is limited, more biographical information can be found in the books featured on our Diego & Frida children's booklist. Winner 2015 Pura Belpré Award for Illustration.
