Marisol’s Dress by Emily Ozier

In the midst of a revolution, young Marisol
is forced to flee the life she knows and
loves in vibrant Cuba, leaving her parents
and most of her treasured belongings
behind. With just one doll and her favorite
white dress, Marisol struggles to adapt to
life in America. But Marisol soon realizes
that what she didn’t leave behind is her
powerful confidence and ingenuity.

Both timely and timeless, Marisol’s Dress is
inspired by the journey of author and artist
EMYO’s own family. Featuring the lively
impressionist art of EMYO herself, this book
leaves young readers moved to face
hardship with the courage and creativity of
Marisol.
