Looking for the Best Frida Kahlo Books for Kids? These are must haves for any library filled with books about inspirational women!

Looking for the Best Frida Kahlo Books for Kids? These are must haves for any library filled with books about inspirational women!This year, we decided to work on  gathering more inspiring books for Lydia’s home library.  We worked together as a family to make a list of the inspiring women that we all wanted to learn more about (most were contributed by Lydia herself).  We’ll spend a couple weeks reading about each one, and the final project? Lydia is going to be planning mommy and me costumes so that we can do a fun photo shoot inspired by each woman (think of these as her own mini book projects).  A couple weeks back, we kicked off the series with Amelia Earhart, and now? We have been reading the Best Frida Kahlo Books for Kids!

Looking for great books for your home library? These Frida Kahlo books for kids are a must own!Frida Kahlo is an amazing role model for multiple reasons.  This talented Mexican artist had polio as a child and spinal damage from a car accident.  She has been a hero and inspiration to generations of artists as an amazing talent, a women who thrived with a disability, and an early champion for LGBT rights (Frida was bisexual).Looking for great books for your home library? These Frida Kahlo books for kids are a must own for any family library!

The Best Frida Kahlo Books for Kids

  1. Frida Kahlo (Little People, BIG DREAMS): This is Lydia’s favorite of all the Frida Kahlo Books for Kids we own.  It has GREAT illustrations, and is part of a larger series we love.  It shares the story of Frida as a child, and how she chased her dreams.  It’s super inspiring and helps Lydia to connect to Frida since she can imagine her as a child.
  2. Counting With -Contando Con Frida: Looking for a Frida book for a younger child? I love love love this bilingual picture book that practices counting to ten.  It’s part of the Lil’ Libros series of bilingual books we discovered at USC’s Festival of Books a few years ago, the entire series is a must own.

  3. Frida Kahlo: The Artist who Painted Herself: This children’s book is illustrated by Tomie dePaola and shares a TON about Frida as an artist.  It inspired Lydia to try her own Frida inspired paintings!

  4. Frida Kahlo and Her Animalitos: This stunning book that shares the story of Frida and her animals has won about a million awards including the New York Times/New York Public Library Best Illustrated Children’s Book of 2017 and Smithsonian Top Ten Best Children’s Book of 2017.  We LOVE IT!

  5. Who Was Frida Kahlo?: Looking for a book for older kids? This amazing book is perfect for ages 8 -12.  It has beautiful illustrations and shares Frida’s brave story.

Want to teach your child about inspirational women? These Frida Kahlo books for kids are a must own!

It’s so important for our children to learn about their role models and to relate to them as people.  Children’s books are a GREAT way to engage our kids and to start deeper discussions about our values.  Have you expanded your child’s library to include The Best Frida Kahlo Books for Kids? If so, what books did you include?

📣What conversations with your kids are you gear 📣What conversations with your kids are you gearing up to have? 📣⠀
📣Let’s be honest......there are conversation topics that as parents we all know we need to bring up. From body changes to the birds and the bees to underage drinking.....as our kids get older, we’ve got a lot to tackle. And I get it, unless you happen to be a 15 years in the classroom teacher like me....this probably isn’t something you have experience with (plus, trust me....it’s a whole other ball game with your OWN kids). ⠀
⠀
📣I’m excited to team up with my friends at Responsibility.org to talk to YOU about having those talks with your family. This month is Alcohol Responsibility Month, and it’s the PERFECT time to start an ongoing dialog around underage drinking.⠀
⠀
📣 A few tips for having those ongoing conversations with your kids:⠀
⠀
📢Be human. It’s ok to not know all the answers. Your job? To lead with love and openness, and to use resources and experts to find the answers.⠀
⠀
📢Know that these are ongoing conversations. Hard topics aren’t a one and done type of dialog. As your children grow up, and have new experiences, you’ll have more conversations.⠀
⠀
📢Facts and Data are more effective than scare tactics. For discussions about Underage Drinking, I love Ask, Listen, Learn as a resource for parents and teachers. It addresses brain development, and has some REALLY cool videos and interactive tools for kids in grades 4-7.⠀
⠀
📣I’m sharing more tips and resources over on the blog today.

🌴These happy faces? Are because we spent the day lounging by the pool instead of hiding from loud machines.  If you follow along on our stories, you know that we came home from a trip to Bass Lake and Yosemite LAST week to…..WATER EVERYWHERE.  It’s all still being sorted out, but…..in the meantime there are some very big and loud machines starting the process of removing the water from our floors / cabinets and downstairs area. ⠀
⠀
🌴So when we had the chance to do a little staycation at the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach after our Touch of Disney day…….CLEARLY it was a YES.  This was my first time to this property, and it won’t be the last.  Three pools, super close to a ton of fun activities (18 miles from Disneyland, and an 8 minute drive from the Lido Marina Village), plus they’ve got a GREAT dinner option and a coffee shop in the morning.  This was JUST what we needed,  now I’m just busy plotting ways to stay longer.⠀
⠀
🌴Have you done an emergency home renovation? Did you stay? Because, I’m about to vote for us just taking up residence at the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach until all work is done.  You support this choice, right? ⠀

🌲I’m a check my email a million times type of person. I can admit it. I get worried when I think my cell phone doesn’t have enough power. And today? We spent the majority of the time hiking all over Yosemite National Park with zero wifi.⠀
