About The Book

A heart-wrenching true story about life in a Kenyan refugee camp that will restore your faith in real-life happy endings.

Omar and his brother Hassan, two Somali boys, have spent a long time in the Dadaab refugee camp. Separated from their mother, they are looked after by a friendly stranger. Life in the camp isn't always easy. The hunger is constant . . . but there's football to look forward to, and now there's a chance Omar will get to go to school . . .

With a heart-wrenching fairytale ending, this incredible true story is brought to life by Victoria's stunning illustrations. This book perfectly depicts life in a refugee camp for 8-12 year olds.

About The Author

Review

This engaging, heartwarming story does everything one can ask of a book, and then some. ― Kirkus

A personal and poignant entry point for young readers trying to understand an unfair world ― Publishers Weekly

'Fantastic graphic novel . . . Jamieson's lively charismatic art and Mohamed's remarkable life story will make young readers care about Omar and Hassan. -- Alan Gratz ― The New York Times Book Review

With this sensitive and poignant tale, Jamieson and Mohamed express the power of the human spirit to persevere. ― School Library Journal

Poignant and heart-wrenching... Beautifully illustrated... A book that will stick with you long after you finish reading ― The Scotsman

Revealing, memorable and ultimately hopeful, [this] book not only widens our understanding, it demands our engagement and reponse ― Books for Keeps

This beautiful memoir is not to be missed. ― Booklist

A true tale of resilience and hope brought to life in this graphic novel memoir ... This is an outstanding book that is truly engaging, educative and heart-breaking but ultimately a story of hope and doing the best you can. An essential purchase for schools. -- Joy Court ― LoveReading

Should be the top of everyone's reading pile. It covers so much from personal experiences of refugees fleeing war to women's rights, equality of education and living with disability. I'd say that it may be the best graphic novel I've read ― The Reader Teacher

This riveting graphic novel chronicles the young Omar's real-life experience during the 15 years he and his little brother spent as Somali refugees in the U.N.-run Dabaab camp in Kenya. ― The New York Times Book Review
