L'Engle did much for forging the world of widely published children's literature, and for this I commend her. However this book really shows its age and was not satisfying to read in the 2020s.

3.0

A visual and helpful first read on Frida Kahlo's life. Missing a lot of depth and detail (but makes sense for an introductory tome). Lacks critical perspective on the controversial aspects of Frida's life, particularly her turbulent marriage.

Gives language to so many aspects of friendship that are difficult to talk about.
