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!

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?

The way I laughed out loud when I spotted this lit The way I laughed out loud when I spotted this little area during our day at Knott’s Berry Farm……. (teachers, you get it right?!?)I mean, HAD TO TAKE A PHOTO (or 20). This weekend was the start of Peanuts Celebration at Knott’s Berry Farm and we spent a day immersed in all things Snoopy.  From the rides in Camp Snoopy to the adorable new shows to the ACTUAL PIGS in Pigpen’s Pig Pen there was so much to do…..I’m so glad that Knott’s invited us to check it all out!Now, who is YOUR favorite Peanuts character? (Lydia’s is Sally, she’s actually playing her in a school play TODAY — the timing, right?) @knottsberryfarm #knottspeanutscelebration
✨ Happy 100th Disney!✨⠀ ⠀ 💜The people a ✨ Happy 100th Disney!✨⠀⠀💜The people are the magic.  Yesterday was filled with friends and food and fun and feet (sore ones after walking around from dawn to way past dusk)…….and as Lydia and I tucked ourselves into bed last night……I felt so much gratitude.  Our happy place has brought so much joy into our lives and so many people that enrich each moment.⠀⠀✨The Disney 100 Celebration will be happening ALL YEAR, and I feel like we still have so much to see and do.⠀⠀💜Favorite Moments and Experiences from our day one of Disney 100:⠀🚂riding Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railroad: I avoided ALLLLLL spoilers (there are some in this carousel btw), and had seen NONE of the attraction until we stepped into the queue…. it was absolutely adorable and I can’t WAIT to ride it again, plus when we exited the ride…..some of the team that created it were at the exit and seeing their smiles? ABSOLUTE DISNEY MAGIC.⠀🌅seeing the sun rise over the castle bright and early⠀💕running into friends every 5 minutes, it felt like a giant reunion⠀👗characters in their costumes, not going to lie….we didn’t wait in lines for them….they were length, but we gave a wave as we walked by and they looked stunning⠀⠀✨When is your next Disney trip???
🏰Dreaming of Dancing in Front of the Castle for 🏰Dreaming of Dancing in Front of the Castle for Spring Break?🏰⠀⠀📷A few castle photo tips:⠀1️⃣side, not center……both sides of the castle have lovely little spots that provide a great view of the castle and moat, but avoid the crowd (plus you can get some nice flattering light into the mid morning or in the late afternoon)⠀2️⃣want to be closer to the front? Sit on the back of the benches built into the moat entrance, you’ll be a bit elevated, it gives a great angle and a better view of the castle herself ⠀3️⃣if you REALLY want that walking into the castle shot…..this is something you can do during early entry time if you are staying on property ⠀⠀🧳Now, let’s talk Spring Break tips in collaboration with @themeparkfrog :⠀🚨This is IT.  Red alert.  If you’re hoping to visit the Happiest Place on Earth for Spring Break….BOOK IT NOW.  Spring Break is around the corner, and the more you plan, the happier you’ll be (trust me).⠀⠀To do (in order):⠀1️⃣book your hotel, theme park tickets and rental car: for the best deal, you can do this as a bundle with Undercover Tourist (you’ll save a TON this way….I’m sharing more in stories)⠀2️⃣once you have your trip dates….book dining.  At Disneyland you can book 60 days in advance (which means, NOW and coming up very soon for Spring Break).⠀3️⃣ If you want to do something special like the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, you can ALSO book that 60 days in advance.⠀⠀✨So, are you ready? Blue skies, sunshine, and Disney Magic guaranteed. What are YOUR spring break plans?
