Text in Spanish.;Translation of: Islandborn. "Lola was just a baby when her family left the Island, so when she has to draw it for a school assignment, she asks her family, friends, and neighbors about their memories of her homeland . . . and in the process, comes up with a new way of understanding her own heritage"--Provided by

From the publisher:
Del exitoso autor en ventas segun el New York Times y ganador del Premio Pulitzer, Junot Diaz, nos llega su primer album ilustrado acerca de la magia de los recuerdos y el poder infinito de la imaginacion, ahora en espanol! Todos los ninos en la escuela de Lola venian de otra parte. Era una escuela de lugares lejanos. Asi que cuando la maestra de Lola pide a sus alumnos que hagan un dibujo del lugar del que emigraron sus familias, todos los ninos se entusiasman. Todos, menos Lola. Ella no recuerda la Isla: se fue cuando era apenas un bebe. Pero con la ayuda de su familia y de sus amigos, todos ellos con sus recuerdos --felices, maravillosos, tristes, aterradores--, la imaginacion de Lola la lleva en un extraordinario viaje de regreso a la Isla. Cuando finalmente se acerca al corazon de la historia de su familia, Lola llega a entender el sentido de las palabras de su abuela: Que no recuerdes un lugar, no significa que no sea parte de ti. Esplendidamente ilustrado, y escrito en una bella prosa, Lola es un homenaje a la creatividad, a la diversidad y a la imaginacion sin limites, que nos permite conectar con nuestra familia, nuestro pasado y con nosotros mismos.
