Hope from my nieces

My nieces introduced me to this song by K’NAAN, a Somali-Canadian songwriter/hip-hop artist/activist, this past year - it gets in my head for days on end! And there’s an accompanying children’s book called “When I Get Older: The Story Behind "Wavin’ Flag” by K’NAAN, which tells the story of his childhood in Mogadishu and his family’s move to the US and Canada as refugees during the Somali Civil War (available from your local bookseller!).
