Paint Brushes for Frida - A Children's Book Inspired by Frida Kahlo

Step into the colorful, imaginative world of Frida Kahlo with this beautifully illustrated children’s book inspired by her iconic Self Portrait with Monkeys. Told with warmth, wonder, and creativity, Paint Brushes for Frida celebrates the power of perseverance, imagination, and the natural world. Frida lies in her bed, recovering from a serious accident, longing to paint—but all she can do is sing the colors, shapes, and animals she imagines. Suddenly, a jar of paintbrushes tumbles from her nightstand, and a playful monkey named Caimito springs into action! With the help of his friends, Caimito gathers her brushes, paints, canvas, and all the magical elements from Frida’s song—fruit, flowers, birds, and butterflies—helping her bring her imagination to life. 

Through vibrant illustrations that capture Kahlo’s bold, colorful style, young readers are introduced to themes of courage, creativity, and enduring love, as well as the symbolic language of plants, animals, numbers, and faith that inspired Frida’s artwork. Perfect for kids ages 5–10, Paint Brushes for Frida is a joyful, inspiring story that encourages children to embrace their creativity, overcome challenges, and see the beauty in the world around them.

Bring home this heartwarming tale of friendship, resilience, and artistic magic, and let young readers discover the world through Frida Kahlo’s eyes!
