On July 6, 1907 Frida Kahlo was born. She’s considered one of Mexico’s greatest painters, and she was well known for her self-portraits. Her story although tragic is one of overcoming personal struggles. She was an activist and married fellow painter Diego Rivera. Today many celebrate her as a feminist icon.

Children’s Books
Frida y Diego en el país de las calaveras
Frida, Queen of Canvas I wrote a review on this Frida Kahlo children’s book. Although in English, I did some activities with the kids including a book report project.
Children’s Videos:
Many of her paintings revolve around her life so I would suggest you take a look at her paintings before sharing with kids. Luckily, I found these Spanish videos that are appropriate for kids.
