Her heart aches to paint, but her physical limitations hinder her ability to create art. However, her imagination remains vibrant, and she finds solace in singing the songs that fill her mind. Suddenly, a jar of paintbrushes falls from her nightstand, scattering vibrant colors across the floor. A monkey named Caimito, accompanied by his friends, rushes to her aid. They gather her brushes, paint, canvas, and the various items mentioned in her song—fruit, birds, flowers, and butterflies. Grateful for their assistance, Frida manages to create a new painting—a triumphant self-portrait featuring Caimito in her arms. The book delves into the profound themes of Kahlos work, encompassing physical pain, enduring love, and unwavering determination. It also explores the symbolism of plants, animals, numbers, and religion, aimed at providing young readers with a solid foundation for appreciating Kahlos art throughout their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 555g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 329 x 249 x 10 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783791374918\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Veronique Massenot","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44101485068538,"sku":"9783791374918","price":8.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_1013adde-5723-44e5-805b-cb2287d5a1ec.jpg?v=1647362376","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/paint-brushes-for-frida-a-childrens-book-inspired-by-frida-kahlo-9783791374918","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
