內容簡介

內容簡介 美國國家圖書獎決選Omar和他唯一的親人，弟弟Hassan住在肯亞的難民營裡，每天過著飢餓、無聊的生活，無法言語的弟弟Hassan也得不到應有的醫療照顧。直到有一天Omar有機會可以去上學，這可能是唯一能改變他們現狀的機會，但是也代表他必須離開他的弟弟。他該如何選擇？一本令人心碎、同時又充滿希望，以及一點點幽默詼諧。這本圖像小說描寫總是在等待中的童年，以及一個年輕人如何在困苦的時候，維繫他自己的家人與家庭。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."
