"A graphic memoir by young Syrian Muhammad Najem, who rose to international notoriety during the Syrian Civil War due to his on-the-ground reporting using social media"--
Muhammad Najem was only eight years old when the war in Syria began. He was thirteen when his father was killed in a bombing while praying. By fifteen, he didn't want to hide anymore--he wanted to act. Determined to reveal what families like his were enduring in Syria--and armed only with the camera on his phone--Muhammad started reporting on the war on social media. He interviewed other kids to show they were just like kids in other countries, with their own hopes and dreams. Despite unimaginable loss, Muhammad sought to document the humanity of the Syrian people...and eventually the world took notice. A graphic memoir told by Muhammad himself along with CNN producer Nora Neus, who helped break Muhammad's story. --
