Eleven-year-old Frida "lives in a world that is very dark, very dangerous, and very dirty." An encounter with a mysterious, elderly neighbor who teaches Frida to make beautiful crafts out of the discarded objects that litter her neighborhood brings joy and light to her family and surroundings. This book is perfect for anyone who loves crafting, learning from one's elders, and stories about youth who, through their actions, make this world a better place in which to live. "Frida Transformed" was written by Kahlo Quinn, an avid crafter, when she herself was eleven.
