Islandborn

A powerful tale about the magic of memory and the infinite power of the imaginationEvery kid in Lola`s school was from somewhere else. Hers was a school of faraway places. 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.
