An absolutely gorgeous and well told graphic novel. I am a huge fan of comics without words. This book does a great job of using color and expression to portray how Marisol is feeling in her new, unfamiliar setting. I coincidentally read another book about children fleeing Cuba as Castro rose to power recently as well, and they contextualized each other really well.
