Depicts a refugee's life over the course of over a decade, including chronic hunger and deep poverty. Some readers may like to know how the author's life turned out to get through the more difficult material:

He lives in the USA with his wife and 5 children. They succeeded in finding his long lost mother, who remains a refugee but in contact with them. Hassan has medical care. Maryam is a fictional character composed of stories of other girls.

This is such an important story, and I think it works so well in graphic novel format. Omar's story is one that too many kids can likely relate to, and it's important for others to be able to see it. I don't think there are many kid's graphic novels that cover this topic, but I'm glad that this one does!
