  “A vibrantly illustrated biography of Kahlo . . . [Hesse’s] drawings and graphics [flow] seamlessly with the narration.” —Houston Chronicle 
   
  One of the most important artists of the twentieth century and an icon of courageous womanhood, Frida Kahlo lives on in the public imagination, where her popularity shows no signs of waning. She is renowned for both her paintings and her personal story, which were equally filled with pain and anguish, celebration and life. Thousands of words, including her own, have been written about Kahlo, but only one previous biography has recorded her fascinating, difficult life. Frida Kahlo by María Hesse offers a highly unique way of getting to know the artist by presenting her life in graphic novel form, with striking illustrations that reimagine many of Kahlo’s famous paintings. 
   
  Originally published in Spanish in 2016, Frida Kahlo has already found an enthusiastic audience in the Spanish-speaking world, with some 20,000 copies sold in just a few months. This translation introduces English-language readers to Kahlo’s life, from her childhood and the traumatic accident that would change her life and her artwork, to her complicated love for Diego Rivera and the fierce determination that drove her to become a major artist in her own right. María Hesse tells the story in a first-person narrative, which captures both the depths of Frida’s suffering and her passion for art and life. 
   
  “Despite the often light mood of the artwork, the book never shies from weighty consideration of the physical pain and personal loss that gave way—in fleeting but significant moments—to Kahlo’s artistic triumph.” —Publishers Weekly

  LOUIE! YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR BROTHER. SOMEONE IS BREAKING ALL THE GAMES IN THE ARCADE!  
  Louie leaped up from his chair when he saw the desperate text from his non-Superhero friend Elliot and immediately turned to his Superhero brother Charlie for help:  
  “Charlie, you have to get down to the arcade right now! Someone is breaking all the machines. None of us will be able to play this weekend for Elliot's birthday!"  
  Charlie shrugged. “No one cares about that. Besides, I’m really tired. Good Superheroes always get their rest before fighting crime. Someone else will take care of it”.  
  Louie was shocked at his brother's words as they kept echoing in his mind: SOMEONE ELSE WILL TAKE CARE OF IT... 
  WHO is going to take care of it? All the other Superheroes at school are too lazy to do anything about it!  
  If his brother wasn't going to stand up against evil, and neither were any of the other Superheroes, he could as well become a hero and save the arcade and Elliot´s birthday... Right?  
  Follow Louie, an ordinary boy, on his brave journey as he struggles to become a real hero and fight evil and restore justice. In this heart-warming, fun, and heroic adventure, you will learn that believing in yourself and helping others are much more important than having real super powers. 
  Louie´s Super Adventure: A Story about the Power of a Little Superhero Louie; Adventure Book for 5-16 years old Boys and Girls is an exciting audiobook you will love to hear again and again!
