 " /></p>\n<p>Omar and his younger brother\, Hassan\, have spent most of th
 eir lives in Dadaab\, a refugee camp in Kenya. Life is hard there: never e
 nough food\, achingly dull\, and without access to the medical care Omar k
 nows his nonverbal brother needs. So when Omar has the opportunity to go t
 o 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 lef
 t\, every day. Heartbreak\, hope\, and gentle humor exist together in this
  National Book Award nominated graphic novel about a childhood spent waiti
 ng\, and a young man who is able to create a sense of family and home in t
 he most difficult of settings. It&rsquo\;s an intimate\, important\, unfor
 gettable look at the day-to-day life of a refugee\, as told to New York Ti
 mes Bestselling author/artist Victoria Jamieson by Omar Mohamed\, the Soma
 li man who lived the story.</p>\n<p>&mdash\;From the catalog</p>\n<hr />\n
