My Animalitos

Meet renowned Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and all of her animal friends in this board book inspired by the Pura Belpré Honor-winning Frida Kahlo and Her Animalitos .

There's no one Frida Kahlo loves more than her animal friends-her beloved animalitos. In this board book, toddlers will learn to identify the different animals Frida kept as pets throughout her life: from a dog and a cat to a parrot and a turkey. Each animal also represents Frida's many characteristics, from her strength and independence to her profound intelligence, with each page reading as an affirmation for toddlers to repeat as they grow-just as we see Frida grow throughout the story.

Award-winning creators Monica Brown and John Parra have made a board book to honor the legacy of Frida Kahlo and inspire confidence and imagination in a new generation of creatives.
