These childhood diaries contrast amazingly with those of her adult life. Due to early childhood events, that were repressed at that time, she was even shyer, especially with boys, than average for a Spanish Catholic girl. On the other hand, she clearly considered herself an artist from a family of artists and was interested mainly in other artists rather than neighbors. The diary was already an obsession and her writing skill was already developing. A rare glimpse into the heart and mind of a young girl, even if you don't read her adult diaries.
