In this new series, discover the lives of outstanding people from designers and artists to scientists. All of them went on to achieve incredible things, yet all of them began life as a little child with a dream. The second book follows Frida Kahlo, whose desire to study medicine was destroyed by a childhood accident. Frida began painting from her bedside and produced over 140 works, culminating in a solo exhibition in America. This inspiring and informative little biography comes with extra facts about Frida's life at the back.

“Eventually Frida decided to show everyone her work. Her pictures caused a great stir in New York City.”

This book would be great for the older grades. When the books start to become more informational and in depth, I think that it would be beneficial for the older grades. This would be a great book to highlight the importance of women. It can be entertaining, but also seen as controversial, so take caution while reading through it with children. It is an easy book for children to identify the characters.

Frida Kahlo by Isabel Sanchez Vegara. Published in 2015. Biography of Frida Kahlo. This book follows the life of Frida Kahlo from her as a child to the impacts she made through her paintings as an adult. It doesn‘t stray away from the hardships she went through and how she overcame them. The illustrations are vibrant like her paintings a tell a beautiful story.

Meant to post my #FabulousFebruary TBR this morning. Already finished this Little People Big Dreams book. I‘ve started most of these. Trying to slow down and focus on print and kindle books this time. Also decided to reread the BSC books since I recklessly read them out of order as a kid 😂

I love this series of books and am surprised that the Harriett Tubman story isn‘t in the Litsy database. This is a great story about the amazing Tubman. She is a figure that all children should learn about in order to better understand the travesty of slavery and the importance of equal rights for all. #nfnov.

CoffeeCatsBooks This series of books look so cute! 5y

I love this book b/c it can be used to join reading w/ history, art, & cultural diversity! This book is a simple overview of Kahlo's life & achievements. I would use this as an intro into the study of Frida, the history of Mexico, or the study of women in history

Bmelendez92 This is an amazing colorful book, not only teaching about her but also reaching the younger audience with the beautiful illustrations. Good find! 5y
Ivanita08 Great selection Raquel! I barely know about Frida‘s life, but based on the colorful images and particular portrait of Frida on this book, I think I would like to read this book to know more about her! 5y
KDrake I love any children's book that helps to promote acceptance of diversity and brings historical facts about different cultures to the classroom for students. I also love it when I can learn something new myself from reading a book. This would be a fantastic addition to any classroom library, especially if there are any ELLs from Mexico in your class! 👍😁 5y

Little People, Big Dreams: Frida Kahlo by Isabel Sanchez Vegara and illustrated by Gwen Fan Eng is an amazing biography book that illustrates the life and colorful culture of painter, Frida Kahlo, in playful picture scenes. I loved how this book allow for fusion in lessons of culture and people in with historical art. It leaves many possibilities for a large variety of different activities such as painting projects and in-depth cultural studies

Killianfig UDL strategies 7.3 and 7.2 can be used for a story-time session and highlighting the cultural aspects seen in the book. Due the the book‘s Latino roots, ESOL strategies that emphasize cultural connection like 24, 4, and 11 can be exercised as students may have prior connection to the culture being discussed. Check out this Kahlo lesson plan that teaches self-expression through self-portraits: 6y

cwright Okay I have to get this book. It sounds and looks incredible and I love that it can create an environment for the whole class to learn something about the culture of Latinx ELL students :) 6y
DrSpalding LatinX ...absolutely! Wonderful post. Nice alignment. Reading biographies can be inspiring for your students! 6y
DrSpalding Self portraits! Yes! Arts integration!❤️ 🖼 6y

Because of its target audience, this book glosses over the more dramatic aspects of Kahlo‘s life, while still giving a sense of what inspired her art. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love the idea behind the 'little people, big dreams' series but this one feels a little too fragmented... needs more detail!
