Synopsis "Cuando Brillan las Estrellas: Una Novela Gráfica Necesaria (in Spanish)"

Victoria Jamieson, ganadora de la Medalla Newbery de las bibliotecas de EE.UU., se hizo voluntaria tras ver por televisión las terribles circunstancias de los refugiados sirios. En este voluntariado conoció a Omar Mohamed, quien le contó su propia vivencia en un campo de la ONU en Kenia. Este libro cuenta su historia.

La esperanza, la angustia y el humor amable conviven en esta novela gráfica sobre la infancia que Omar y su hermano Hassán vivieron en un campo de refugiados de la ONU en Kenia. La vida allí es dura, pues nunca hay suficiente comida y el acceso a la atención médica es limitado, además Hassán dejó de hablar cuando salieron de Somalia por la guerra. Es entonces cuando Omar tiene la oportunidad de ir a la escuela, algo que le da a su vida una visión esperanzadora del futuro.

Este libro es necesario, porque representa una mirada íntima, importante y real a la vida cotidiana de un niño refugiado.

Esta obra ha recibido una ayuda a la edición del Ministerio de Cultura y Deporte.
