He was thirteen when his beloved Baba, his father, was killed in a bombing while praying. By fifteen, Muhammad didn't want to hide anymore--he wanted to act. He was determined to reveal what families like his were enduring in Syria: bombings by their own government and days hiding in dark underground shelters. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Armed with the camera on his phone and the support of his family, he started reporting on the war using social media. He interviewed other kids like him to show what they hope for and dream about. More than anything, he did it to show that Syrian kids like his toddler brother and infant sister, are just like kids in any other country. Despite unimaginable loss, Muhammad was always determined to document the humanity of the Syrian people. Eventually, the world took notice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This tenderly illustrated graphic memoir is told by Muhammad himself along with CNN producer Nora Neus, who helped break Muhammad's story and bring his family's plight to an international audience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Muhammad Najem, Nora Neus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0759556903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780759556904\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little, Brown Ink\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.49h x 6.04w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2022 pg. 43\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/23\/2022 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2022 pg. 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2022 - Outstanding, Noteworthy In Style","brand":"Muhammad Najem","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056395546879,"sku":"9780759556904","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_41fa8b13-f518-4073-a9e2-d2059fbe38cc.jpg?v=1685041081","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/muhammad-najem-war-reporter-muhammad-najem-9780759556904","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
