Paloma Flies Away - Hardcover
by Mar?a J. Guarda (Author), Mar?a J. Guarda (Illustrator), Melanie Cordova (Translator)
Will Paloma and her parents someday find their way back to home and family? A Chilean artist tells an emotionally resonant, beautifully illustrated immigration story through a child's eyes.
Paloma's home has changed. The dictator who took over the country has stripped its people of their freedoms, and it's no longer OK to think for yourself. So, like birds, Paloma and her parents fly away in search of a new home, without a chance to pack or say goodbye. The new country is different and generous, and their arrival is a big adventure. Though things are unfamiliar and Paloma misses the country she left, her new friends are soon like family, and she feels right at home. Then she grows older, and more changes come, and Paloma and family are flying away again, to a country she can barely remember . . . With a simple narration and stunning illustrations, Mar?a J. Guarda brings us a tender story about home, family, and identity during times of immeasurable change.Mar?a J. Guarda is an award-winning Chilean illustrator and graphic designer.
