Isla to Island

e-book


This stunning wordless graphic novel follows a young girl in the 1960s who immigrates from Cuba to the United States and must redefine what home means to her.

Marisol loves her colorful island home. Cuba is vibrant with flowers and food and peopleā€¦but things are changing. The home Marisol loves is no longer safeā€”and then itā€™s no longer her home at all. Her parents are sending her to the United States. Alone.

Nothing about Marisolā€™s new life in cold, gray Brooklyn feels like homeā€”not the language, school, or even her foster parents. But Marisol starts to realize that home isnā€™t always a place. And finding her way can be as simple as staying true to herself.
