An Olympic Dream - The Story of Samia Yusuf Omar #[nn]
“My Olympic Dream”
Reinhard Kleist's graphic biography brings the remarkable story of Somali runner Samia Yusuf Omar to vivid life, with a cover that says everything about the stakes involved: a determined young woman in a Somalia racing bib, number 2895, strides across a bold red track above a haunting image of a crowded inflatable boat navigating dark, churning waters. The juxtaposition of athletic ambition and perilous journey makes this 2016 SelfMadeHero release an unusually moving piece of comics storytelling before you've even turned a page.
