I have no words. This graphic novel is a real-life account of Omar Mohamed's story as a Somalian refugee. It was eye-opening, heartbreaking, yet filled with so much hope. The pictures we see of Omar and Hassan at the end, and their life after the events of this book, made me almost cry. It's definitely a difficult story to process at times, but I think it's important and necessary for people to become aware of the refugee crisis and what refugees have gone through and are still going through in their journey to find a place to call home.

Adding this trigger warning because it was difficult for me to read about: one of the girls that Omar is friends with gets married off at a really young age to an older man instead of being allowed to continue on with school
