Isla to Island
Alexis Castellanos
In this wordless graphic novel, Marisol leaves Cuba and her family to begin a new life in Brooklyn through Operation Peter Pan. Her journey requires her to redefine what home means after moving from one island to another. Black-and-white illustrations, accented with color, convey the emotions and spirit of her transition. The story centers on separation from family, migration, and the challenge of building a life in an unfamiliar place.
