“With delicacy and grace, Salvadoran cartoonist Saade crafts a resonant and distinctive graphic novel debut that chronicles “just another story” of contemporary migration that centers his cousin, Carlos. …Saade, who translates Carlos’s travails into a sprawling narrative, uses deft cartooning to craft an empathetic look at the struggles faced by migrants from Central America in seeking prosperity amid situations rife with inequity. Each panel is a testament to individual resilience, culminating in an expansive story of human beings triumphing against unspeakable odds.”

Una Historia Más: Un Relato Gráfico de Migración (Just Another Story: A Graphic Migration Account)

Written by Ernesto Saade
Illustrated by Ernesto Saade
Published by Lerner Publishing Group

Cuando Carlos tenía 19 años, su mamá decidió dejar su vida en El Salvador y buscar un nuevo comienzo en Estados Unidos. Para el viaje al norte, contrató los servicios de un coyote. Carlos se resistía a ir, pero no quiso dejar que su mamá partiera sin él y decidió unirse. En su recorrido a través de México, vivieron los riesgos y miedos que incontables personas de países centroamericanos enfrentan al emigrar a otras tierras. Diez años después, Carlos comparte estos recuerdos con su primo Ernesto.

El resultado de su conversación es Una Historia Más: Un Relato Gráfico de Migración.
