Kenya is home to the Dadaab Refugee Camp. It is the home for thousands of refugees that fled Somalia during the Civil War in 1991. The camp struggles with famine, drought and poverty. The graphic novel When Stars Are Scattered by Omar Mohammed and Victoria Jamieson, describes Omar Mohammed's experience in Dadaab. Omar spent fifteen years in this "open prison." This is a great novel to teach students appreciation for what they have and to never lose hope even in the darkest times.
