A monkey called Caimito scurries to help her with his friends, gathering her brushes, Paint and canvas as well as all the items that Frida mentioned in her song--fruit, birds, flowers, and butterflies.
Suddenly, a jar of paintBrushes falls off her nightstand and a pool of vibrant color spreads across the floor.
She yearns to paint, but can only manage to sing what is in her imagination.

Illustrated with paintings that recall Kahlo\'s bold, colorful style, it takes readers inside Kahlo\'s bedroom, where she typically painted, and shows how the artist brilliantly incorporated the natural world into her work.
