The Audio is great too. submitted by flemingj on July 22, 2020, 11:44am Presented like StoryCorps with the audio. Has similiarities to Long Walk to Water (Graphic Novel), but really focuses on the waiting, and waiting, and waiting in the camp. Thankfully ends on a postitive note, but you will still need tissues.

Delightful submitted by manz on August 29, 2021, 2:48pm A wonderful graphic novel. Highly recommend!

You will laugh and cry- mostly cry. submitted by quynhssong on July 17, 2022, 11:25am This book warmed my heart and made me sob so hard. Truly an amazing book. And the fact it's based on a true story makes it even more... real, I guess?! You have to read this book!!!

Excellent submitted by cjcris23 on July 23, 2022, 9:26pm This graphic novel is powerful and beautifully told. I especially loved the real photos and updated info and biography in the back of the book as the graphic novel itself wraps up before the real end of the story.

Must read submitted by emileeione on July 23, 2023, 3:00pm So powerful and moving. I could hardly finish reading it aloud to the kids without weeping. Sparked many conversations about what life is like for refugees.
