My Animalitos

Meet renowned Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and all of her animal friends in this board book inspired by the Pura Belpré Honor-winning Frida Kahlo and Her Animalitos .

There’s no one Frida Kahlo loves more than her animal friends—her beloved animalitos. In this board book, toddlers will learn to identify the different animals Frida kept as pets throughout her life: from a dog and a cat to a parrot and a turkey. Each animal also represents Frida’s many characteristics, from her strength and independence to her profound intelligence, with each page reading as an affirmation for toddlers to repeat as they grow—just as we see Frida grow throughout the story. 

Award-winning creators Monica Brown and John Parra have made a board book to honor the legacy of Frida Kahlo and inspire confidence and imagination in a new generation of creatives.
