Islandborn

Sobre el libro Islandborn de Junot Díaz publicado por Prentice Hall al 2018:

Every kid in Lola´s school was from somewhere else. Hers was a school of faraway places. So when Lola´s teacher asks the students to draw a picture of where their families immigrated from, all the kids are excited. Except Lola. She can´t remember The Island—she left when she was just a baby. But with the help of her family and friends, and their memories—joyous, fantastical, heartbreaking, and frightening—Lola´s imagination takes her on an extraordinary journey back to The Island. As she draws closer to the heart of her family´s story, Lola comes to understand the truth of her abuela´s words: “Just because you don´t remember a place doesn´t mean it´s not in you.” Gloriously illustrated and lyrically written, Islandborn is a celebration of creativity, diversity, and our imagination´s boundless ability to connect us—to our families, to our past and to ourselves.
