While the Earth Sleeps We Travel
Ahmed’s debut book, published by Andrews McMeel with a foreword from actor and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Ben Stiller.
“An extraordinary showcase of international creativity . . . this book invites a more critical engagement with the differences we assume about one another, and the distances we can bridge by sharing our own stories.”
“As the world continues to grapple with the highest number of refugees and internally displaced people on record, this book converts statistics into names and individual stories that should and do matter.”
“. . . will reaffirm your faith in human resilience and challenge your assumptions about what it means to be a refugee.”
“. . . (a) treasure of a book . . .”
