The World According to Girls

In this inspiring book, the teenage girls of Kakuma Refugee Camp in northwestern Kenya share what it’s like to escape from violence, build a new life, go to high school and dream big for the future. In letters to girls at a high school in Canada, they show strength and courage — plus a big dose of joy and hope. Through photographs, interviews, and touching personal notes, this book vividly shows that in spite of their dramatically different circumstances, the girls in the two countries share many of the same feelings about school and life.
