With such an important and relevant story to tell, the graphic novel route was a great choice. Having the visuals to go along with the text and speech throughout only gives the reader a more in-depth experience with a situation that thousands and thousands of people in the world experience.
'When Stars Are Scattered' took me on a journey with two brothers and with my emotions. It is both a powerful and educational story and I loved every single moment of this reading experience.

In my opinion, it veered a little towards inspiration porn, which is common with stories about disabled folks as well as with refugee experiences written for a western audience. I don't want to judge too harshly though because from the author's note at the end it seems like it was a collaborative writing process and that Omar was satisfied with how his story was told.
