When stars are scattered
(Book)

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'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 family member remaining, every day. An intimate look at the day-to-day life of a refugee, as told to Victoria Jamieson by Omar Mohamed, the Somali man who lived the story and wen on to help so many other refugees. -- adapted from jacket.
