內容簡介

內容簡介 Lola的老師要大家畫圖，主題就是你和家人，是從哪邊移居過來的呢？同學們都很興奮，除了Lola之外。因為當Lola還是嬰兒的時候，她就離開了自己出生的小島，對自己出生的地方，一點印象都沒有，這該怎麼辦？還好Lola的家人和朋友，跟Lola分享了關於他們在那座小島的回憶，有快樂的回憶、奇妙的經驗、傷心的過去或是恐怖的記憶，透過這些分享，加上Lola的想像力，她畫出了很接近全家族記憶中小島的畫作，也同時體會到奶奶跟她分享的一段話：雖然你對家鄉沒有印象，但這不代表家鄉不在你的血液裡。From New York Times bestseller and Pulitzer Prize winner Junot Díaz comes a debut picture book 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.So 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."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.
