Overview

A child of Burundian immigrants, Janvier was born and raised in the harsh reality of Tanzanian refugee camps. This stark yet moving autobiography tells of his memories of that time, from his birth and growing up in the camps with his brothers and sisters, to his early years in the United States. Recalling the memories of his family and their journey from the 1994 Rwandan Genocide to the Tanzanian camps before he was born in 1997, Janvier tells the story of a shy child living in a refugee camp, navigating a world of poverty, fear, death, illness, and bullying as his family dealt with the repatriation of Burundian refugees and the immigration process.
