Description
A National Book Award Finalist, this powerful graphic novel tells the story of growing up in a refugee camp. Omar and his younger brother Hassan have spent most of their lives in Dadaab, a harsh environment with limited access to food and medical care. When Omar is given the opportunity to attend school, he must weigh the potential benefits against leaving his brother behind every day. Life in the camp is achingly dull, but Omar finds solace in creating a sense of family and home. With gentle humor and heartbreak, this graphic novel offers an intimate look at the day-to-day life of a refugee. Told by Omar himself, with collaboration from New York Times Bestselling author/artist Victoria Jamieson, it's an unforgettable story about hope and resilience. This poignant graphic novel is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the experiences of refugees and asylum seekers.
