This has got to be one of the most imaginative books I've seen in a while! I work at a bookstore, I have seen many a children's book go by. We all have out faves, ya know? The classics, maybe an illustrator who caught our eye. Whatever the reasoning is, there is nothing like a good, colorful childrens book for my coffee table collection. When I saw this book on the cart this week, I knew by the colors of the cover it was something I needed to look at. When I saw the image on the cover I was in love~
Every page is vibrant and, shall I say "juicy" and ALIVE~
The sweet words, both in English and I Spanish make for a dreamy moment into the mind of artist, author and puppet maker, Yuyi Morales originally of Xalapa, Mexico.
Yuyi is most definetly CHICANALICOUS!!! I wanted to know more and see what she was all about, so I visited her website:
So much fun! I can't wait to have a little time to delve in, so much to see. I want her to be my new BFF~
So, head to your local indie bookstore (or not, but, I'd rather that you support local) and pick up a copy of VIVA FRIDA!
It'll make you smile~*~
