We Are Pan is the culmination of years of research and interviews conducted in and around Miami with members of the Pedro Pan community. In this novel, Andre seeks to spotlight the experiences these children had coming from Cuba to Miami, and from there to all parts across the United States. This exodus profoundly changed their lives, and We Are Pan serves as an acknowledgement of their courage and resilience.

Andre Frattino is an award-winning graphic novelist born and raised in the wilds of North Florida. He holds degrees from both the Savannah College of Art and Design and the University of Florida, the latter of which he served as a staff cartoonist for The Independent Florida Alligator, on the popular “Son of a Gator” comic strip. Other works include his graphic adaptation of Patrick Smith's beloved Florida classic A Land Remembered, the WWII biography Tokyo Rose: Zero Hour and Jim Henson's The Storyteller: Shapeshifter anthology. A self-appointed paranormal enthusiast and lover of historical fiction and nonfiction alike, Andre is a proponent of using the graphic novel form to share stories of the past to inspire the next generation. He currently resides in Savannah, Georgia, with his wife, daughter, a scruffy mutt and a half-dozen ravenous koi fish. Florida is never far from his heart.
