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?

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?

☀️ Cheers to: summer vibes with friends that a ☀️ Cheers to: summer vibes with friends that are easy

🥤right? My absolute ideal summer date with a friend involves a cool drink and a lazy afternoon.

❓Now the question…..what’s the best summer drink? Swipe to the end for mine (ha, IYKYK)
❓ Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Pretty ❓ Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

Pretty sure these photos display which I am 🤣

In all seriousness, these are some of the photos I took while I was at the Mom 2 Conference up in LA, the first larger group event I’ve been to in years. I was reminded how I THRIVE in a community setting (there’s your answer by the way). So my homework? For me self care looks like: plans with humans outside my family. A few times a week. Because it fills my cup.

🗓This is your reminder to make one on one plans 🗓This is your reminder to make one on one plans with your kids.⠀

Not gonna lie, I almost skipped this. It’s been a busy couple of weeks, but last night…..Lydia and I had a mommy and me date at Legoland on the agenda. Spoiler, it was the most fun we’ve had in a LONG time and….note to self, book more dates with my mini-me. Let’s be honest…..time moves faster and faster and….she’s going to be OVER these mommy and me moments in the blink of an eye.⠀
⠀
🏁About last night: we got to participate in a preview of the new LEGO® Ferrari Build & Race attraction at @legolandcalifornia and I have to say……Lydia is already asking to go back.⠀
⠀
🏎What is it?⠀
- this adorable attraction has three separate areas: a place where you’ll get to see a ton of cool Ferrari gear and info AND a Ferrari F40 model built completely out of LEGO bricks, a building area for making your own car and testing it on multiple race tracks, and then an area that SCANS YOUR CAR and allows you to digitally race other builders)⠀
- honestly? This was just as fun for me as it was for Lydia, and the teacher in me is required to tell you…..this is a perfect example of STEM / STEAM being a part of play. She built a car, tested it, then adjusted so it would move faster…..and I loved it!⠀
⠀
Highly recommend a visit!⠀
⠀
🗓Do you do regular one on one plans with your kid? Suggestions? I think we’re going to book one thing a week from here on out!⠀
