"Famous artists and the children who knew them"--Cover.
Summary
"When Mariana goes to Frida Kahlo's house to have her portrait painted by the famous Mexican artist, she is scared. She's a little bit afraid of the beautiful lady with her exotic pets and her "frog-toad" --and she's heard that Frida keeps a skeleton in her bedroom! But as Frida paints Mariana, their friendship blossoms. Frida tells Mariana about her life and the terrible accident that almost killed her, while Mariana discovers how love, creativity, determination, and above all--courage-- can give you wings to fly."--Back cover.
