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