Isla to Island

內容簡介

內容簡介 從一個島到另一個島 找尋家的歸屬感這本扣人心弦的無字圖像小說，講述在1960年代，年輕女孩獨自從古巴移民到美國，重新定義家的故事。Marisol熱愛她的家鄉古巴，那是一個色彩繽紛的島國，充滿鮮花、美食和熱情的人民。但是國家動盪不安，於是父母將Marisol送往美國紐約布魯克林的一個寄養家庭。Marisol突然從多采多姿的熱帶古巴來到語言不通的新環境，布魯克林對她而言是灰色的、冷冰冰的、悲傷的、下雪的，一點家的感覺都沒有，在學校，她也被嘲笑。在新家或在學校，她毫無歸屬感，直到翻閱了樹木、花朵書籍時，顏色才開始回歸到她的生活，開始綻放閃耀，如同在她的家鄉一樣。Marisol loves her colorful island home. Cuba is vibrant with flowers and food and people…but things are changing. The home Marisol loves is no longer safe—and then it’s no longer her home at all. Her parents are sending her to the United States. Alone.Nothing about Marisol’s new life in cold, gray Brooklyn feels like home—not the language, school, or even her foster parents. But Marisol starts to realize that home isn’t always a place. And finding her way can be as simple as staying true to herself.
