Gorgeous. Stunning. A true celebration of Frida Kahlo. Congratulations to Kathy Cano-Murillo – aka the Crafty Chica – who has outdone herself with her 10 th book, FOREVER FRIDA , published by Adams Media and released on Frida Kahlo’s birthday July 9 th . BOOK SUMMARY:   With her colorful style, dramatic self-portraits, hardscrabble backstory, and verve for life, Frida Kahlo remains a modern icon, captivating and inspiring artists, feminists, and art lovers more than sixty years after her death. FOREVER FRIDA celebrates all things Frida, so you can enjoy her art, her words, her style, and her badass attitude every day.   F rom the self-portraits, to the flower crown, to her iconic eyebrows—this is a fun and commemorative book.   “There are no chapters”, says Kathy about the book on her blog post. “The book is very organic and loose. You can open it up to any page and find a standalone entry about Frida. Whether its a quote or a piece of trivia...

Congratulations to Marjorie who wins a copy of the Crafty Chica's WAKING UP IN THE LAND OF GLITTER.  This is book one in Kathy Cano-Murillo's Crafty Chica series. It's a fun read. I read it in two days. The ladies are a hoot -- Star, Ofie and Chloe. If you read this book and don't want to be hanging out at La Pachanga, listening to Reggae Sol, doing crafts with the girls, then you need to read this book again! And don't stop there for book two in the Crafty Chica series, MISS SCARLET'S SCHOOL OF PATTERNLESS SEWING, is also wonderful and The Latina Book Club's Book of the Month.
