 Lola goes to a school where all the students are from faraway places. Lola is from the Dominican Republic. Her teacher wants the class to draw pictures of where their families immigrated from, but Lola can’t remember. She was just a baby when she came here. With the help of family and friends and their memories, she draws a lively picture of La Isla. She also discovers a lot about her culture and heritage. The digitally created illustrations are vibrant and bold. There is a Spanish edition called Lola. mjw |
