Given that the story here is Edie's own - she mentions consulting with her parents in order to get her facts straight in her afterword - I was a little puzzled that Goodbye, Havana! Hola, New York! is told from the perspective of fictional Gabriella. Colón mentions needing some distance from her subject matter, but it still struck me as odd, since nothing else about the story is fictionalized. Leaving that aside, this was a poignant story of family and immigration, and a gentle introduction to the subject of the Cuban Revolution and how it effected people. As could be expected, the accompanying artwork from Raúl Colón was absolutely gorgeous, beautifully capturing the emotional register of each scene. Recommended to anyone looking for children's stories about being immigrant and/or addressing the Cuban Revolution.… (altro)
