When Stars Are Scattered
By Victoria Jamieson and Omar Mohamed
Review by Angel
When Stars Are Scattered is a profoundly moving graphic novel that skillfully navigates the complex realities of life as a refugee. Through the eyes of Omar, a young Somali refugee living in the Dadaab camp in Kenya, the story is immersed in the daily struggles and triumphs of those seeking safety through a better life. The narrative paints a vivid picture of camp life, highlighting the harsh realities of never-ending hunger, the lack of access to medical care, and the pervasive boredom that plagues its inhabitants. Despite these challenges, the story is also one of resilience and hope. When Stars Are Scattered is not just a story; it is a powerful testament to the strength and resilience of refugees around the world.
