About this book:
Omar and his younger brother, Hassan, have spent most of their lives in Dadaab, a refugee camp in Kenya. Life is hard there: never enough food, achingly dull, and without access to the medical care Omar knows his nonverbal brother needs. So when Omar has the opportunity to go to school, he knows it might be a chance to change their future . . . but it would also mean leaving his brother, the only family member he has left, every day.
Heartbreak, hope, and gentle humor exist together in this graphic novel about a childhood spent waiting, and a young man who is able to create a sense of family and home in the most difficult of settings. It's an intimate, important, unforgettable look at the day-to-day life of a refugee, as told to New York Times Bestselling author/artist Victoria Jamieson by Omar Mohamed, the Somali man who lived the story.
Here's what our teachers are saying:
What a powerful book! If you liked reading A Long Walk to Water, you will love this graphic novel. This is a true story centered around two young boys, Omar and Hassan, in a refugee camp in Kenya. The story takes you through all of the events they experience in the refugee camp from going to school, hanging out with friends, the meaning of family, and the hope of a new life. Follow Omar and Hassan through the ups and downs with captivating visuals as they grow up.
