Isla to Island by Alexis Castellanos

5.0

This graphic novel is a stunning wordless look at the life of a cuban girl in the 60s that has to leave her homeland behind to start a new life in a new country without her family and has difficulty adjusting. Then one day Marisol goes to her school library and finds books on plants and it reminds her of the beautiful land of Cuba. She finds her love of botany through this and her librarian gives her a cookbook on cuban meals too. Marisol begins cooking her traditional foods with the people she is staying with, and she begins to feel happy again! Very sweet story!
