Shades of Diego Rivera
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Clara is not happy when her mother is courted by a famous artist named, Miguel. In her mind, Clara calls him Señor Frog. Her mother is a magician's assistant so Sara is fascinated with the idea of magic. Señor Frog's painting intrigues her and when he paints her, wearing a white peasant dress in a mural, she marvels at the "magic" that places her image on the wall. Señor Frog invites her to paint with him and Clara discovers that painting unleashes her own imagination or "magic." This is an upbeat story of a schild and step parent relationship. Ryan Sanchez evokes the personage of Diego Rivera with Señor Frog's rotund, mustached figure and his style as a muralist. The flowers that Clara is holding in her mural portrait are directly inspired by Rivera's paintings.
A CHILD'S DELIGHT
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
"Clara & Senor Frog" is am exciting, imaginative story for any child. The pictures and words are magical. Campbell Geeslin has done it again, with another winner (like his "How Nanita Learned to Make Flan" and "Elena's Serenade"). Book reviewers and parents have praised these stories and we look for more from this amazing author. -Bill Foley
Very well done

A well written story that encourages children to imagine and create. The eye popping illustrations reinforce the theme of the story with the illustrator's creative use of color and imagination. My children loved it (9 yrs old) and are currently drawing their own "magic" parrot!
