Welcome to Litsy!

This was just a wonderful graphic memoir regarding Omar and his younger brother Hassan growing up in refugee camp in Kenya. He finds hope in school and possibility in resettlement, and struggles with the memory of his family‘s farm in Somalia and never knowing what happened to his mother. Excellent. #bbrc #middlegrade #characterwithadisability #thoughmaybeshouldvedonenonfictionforthis

This was phenomenal. I loved the writing, the story, the setting, the characters.... and you know I ugly cried at the end. Highly recommend. #bbrc #teenangst #authenticvoice #readmyowndamnbooks #readingallaroundtheworld
