Theme
for July is Storytelling
Storytelling
brings out the most joyful memories of one’s life. In my case, storytelling
reminds me of when I was a child and my mother used to tell me stories about
fairy tales, which at that age I was completely amazed by them. I loved them!
However, storytelling has its own meaning for everyone. So stop today by La
Casa Azul Bookstore, enjoy your new book of the week, and let the magic of
storytelling transport you to the journey waiting to be explore.

Review:
It’s absolutely
an astonishing read! If you’re looking to acquirelegitimate background information
on Kahlo’s works or just enrich yourself with knowledge about one of the most
influential artists of Latin America, this is the book for you!
Stay
tuned for the weekly selections that La Casa Azul Bookstore will feature and
share some of your thoughts on storytelling!
This book compels reflection, as it presents a female artist who drew on her somber, tragic biography for her greatest work. In Kahlo, the viewer confronts suffering, permeating like a dagger deeply into the life of a woman and of a people, colonized, demeaned, transformed Mexico.
