When Stars are Scattered is a graphic novel for middle grade kids that tells a story based on the lives of two brothers, Omar and Hassan. At age four, Omar and his younger brother became orphaned refugees from their home in Somalia to a camp in Kenya. With the help of a loving foster mother, Omar cares for his special needs brother, Hassan. He struggles through his childhood, growing up in the "open prison" of Dadaab, yet always filled with the hope of relocating to America. The artwork and writing of this book beautifully develop the characters, who will win a place in your heart.
