Isla to Island

In Isla to Island (2022–present, Simon and Schuster), Alexis Castellanos crafts a wordless graphic novel about a Cuban girl who immigrates to New York during the Cold War. Through expressive, warm illustrations, the story follows her journey of cultural displacement and gradual adaptation to a new home. This single-issue, debut work from Castellanos offers a poignant, purely visual narrative that resonates with the immigrant experience.
