Isla to Island

In this wordless graphic novel from 2022, Alexis Castellanos tells the story of a young Cuban girl's journey to New York City as part of Operation Peter Pan. Through expressive, silent art, the book explores the dislocation and quiet courage of a child navigating a new language and culture. Published by Simon and Schuster, this single-volume work stands as a poignant, visually-driven account of a little-known chapter in Cold War history.
