Frida Kahlo y sus animalitos cuenta la vida de Frida - desde la infancia hasta su ascensión como una de las pintoras más influyentes del mundo - captando la belleza y la fuerza del espíritu creador de Frida, que la mantuvo a través de la tragedia y el triunfo, y de los animales que la inspiraron a lo largo del camino. Lo innovador del tema de Brown - juega con la idea de que Frida personifica las características de sus amadas mascotas (dos monos, un loro, tres perros, dos pavos, un águila, un gato negro y un cervatillo) - emparejado con el arte de colores audaces de Parra, que nos recuerdan la paleta de la propia Frida, hacen de esta biografía una emotiva entrega llena de respuestas para los seguidores de Frida, nuevos y viejos.
