A review by qgg
Who Was Frida Kahlo? by Who HQ, Sarah Fabiny

4.0

I enjoyed reading this children’s biography once my son was done with it. I’ve admired Frida’s work for a long time, but I still learned a lot reading this. I did have an issue with the author consistently calling Frida’s clothes “Mexican costumes.” Costume implies playing dress up or Halloween. I know that Native Americans wear regalia to a pow wow, not “costumes.” Culture is not a costume. So I looked it up. It’s called traditional Tehuana dress. I’ll be sharing the correct terminology with my son.
