Call No: [E] Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: Del exitoso autor en ventas según el New York Times y ganador del Premio Pulitzer, Junot DÃaz, nos llega su primer álbum ilustrado acerca de la magia de los recuerdos y el poder infinito de la imaginación, ¡ahora en español! Todos los niños en la escuela de Lola venÃan de otra parte. Era una escuela de lugares lejanos. Asà que cuando la maestra de Lola pide a sus alumnos que hagan un dibujo del lugar del que emigraron sus familias, todos los niños se entusiasman. Todos, menos Lola. Ella no recuerda la Isla: se fue cuando era apenas un bebé. Pero con la ayuda de su familia y de sus amigos, todos ellos con sus recuerdos --felices, maravillosos, tristes, aterradores--, la imaginación de Lola la lleva en un extraordinario viaje de regreso a la Isla. Cuando finalmente se acerca al corazón 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». Espléndidamente ilustrado, y escrito en una bella prosa, Lola es un homenaje a la creatividad, a la diversidad y a la imaginación sin lÃmites, que nos permite conectar con nuestra familia, nuestro pasado y con nosotros mismos.
