"In this exploration of the imagery of artist Frida Kahlo, brief two- or three-word sentences provide dreamlike narration, and mixed-media images follow Frida as she discovers and opens a bright yellow wooden chest, releasing a fantasy in which playfulness leads to a knowledge, love, creativity, and ultimately, to her embrace of life." -  BCCB   "Morales artistically distills the essence of the remarkable Frida Kahlo in this esoteric, multigenre picture book." - Booklist   *"There have been several books for young readers about Frida Kahlo, but none has come close to the emotional aesthetic Morales brings to her subjects . an ingenious tour de force." - The Horn Book , STARRED REVIEW   "This luminescent homage to Frida Kahlo doesn't hew to her artwork's mood but entrances on its own merit . Visually radiant." -  Kirkus Reviews   *"Kahlo's unusual life story, background, and art have made her a frequent topic of biographies. Morales's perception of her creative process results in a fresh, winning take on an artist who has rarely been understood .

Morales's art and O'Meara's photographs take this book to another level." - School Library Journal , STARRED REVIEW   STARRED REVIEW "Frida is presented less as a historical figure than as an icon who represents the life Morales holds sacred; Frida lives because she loves and creates." - Publisher's Weekly.
