TOGETHER, WE ARE
STRONG
THE BOOK
Omar and his younger brother, Hassan, 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's 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, his only remaining family member every day.
​
This intimate, important, and unforgettable graphic novel is about family, home, and 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 and went on to help so many other refugees!
