A National Book Award Finalist, this remarkable graphic novel is
about growing up in a refugee camp, as told by a former Somali
refugee to the Newbery Honor-winning creator of Roller Girl. 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.

protest racial injustice inflicted upon African Americans. Both men
were forced to leave the Olympics, received death threats and faced
ostracism and continuing economic hardships. In his first-ever
memoir for young readers, Tommie Smith looks back on his childhood
growing up in rural Texas through to his stellar athletic career,
culminating in his historic victory and Olympic podium protest.
