(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ryan Sanchez. When Clara first meets Miguel, a rotund, green-clad artist who is apparently modeled on Diego Rivera, she dubs him Señor Frog. After marrying her mother, he introduces Clara to the wonders of painting from the imagination. The story meanders, and it's unclear what's based on fact. Sanchez's exaggerated oil paint illustrations echo (but don't try to copy) Rivera's style. Glos.
