Description
Junot Díaz's debut picture book tells the story of Lola and her journey to understand her family's past. When her teacher asks the students to draw a picture of where their families immigrated from, all the kids are excited except for Lola, who can't remember The Island she left as a baby.
With the help of her family and friends, and their memories, 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 that "just because you don't remember a place doesn't mean it's not in you."
Gloriously illustrated and lyrically written, this book celebrates creativity, diversity, and our imagination's boundless ability to connect us to our families, past, and ourselves.
