This is a wonderful and frustrating story. It's wonderful because it's great to hear Omar and Hassan's story in their own words with great illustrations from Jamieson. It shows perseverance and community of refugees at Daddab. But it also is frustrating that resettlement feels like a lottery and a miracle. It shouldn't be that way - there is plenty of room and work all around the world. I wish that the U.S. particularly would welcome more refugees, support them, and allow them to be safe and loved.
