A review by mtyler3707
When Stars Are Scattered by Victoria Jamieson, Omar Mohamed

adventurous emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

4.75

I thought I was going to quickly skim this book for some children’s book activities I’m planning but was quickly captivated by this memoir. It is a perfect balance of presenting the truth of really hard things and accepting things as how they are in order to survive and love forward. The story of Omar and Hassan is beautifully told and I feel builds empathy for what it means to grow up in a refugee camp.
