The Unwanted: Stories of the Syrian Refugees

A single-issue graphic novel from 2021, The Unwanted: Stories of the Syrian Refugees is a sobering, humanizing work from Houghton Mifflin that collects firsthand accounts of displacement and survival. Drawn by a team of artists under the guidance of writer and illustrator Don Brown, it distills the global refugee crisis into intimate, panel-by-panel stories.
