Determined to reveal what families like his were enduring in Syria--and armed only with the camera on his phone--Muhammad started reporting on the war on social media.

Despite unimaginable loss, Muhammad sought to document the humanity of the Syrian people...and eventually the world took notice. A graphic memoir told by Muhammad himself along with CNN producer Nora Neus, who helped break Muhammad's story. --,adapted from summary on book jacket.
