Muhammad Najem, war reporter : how one boy put the spotlight on Syria / Muhammad Najem and Nora Neus ; illustrated by Julie Robine ; colors by Shin-Yeon Moon.

Najem, Muhammad, (author.). Neus, Nora, (author.). Robine, Julie, (artist.).

Summary:
Muhammad Najem was only eight years old when the war in Syria began. He was thirteen when Baba, his beloved 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: raids by their own government and days spent hiding in dark underground shelters. 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 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 the 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.
