K-3
Illustrated by
Rudy Gutierrez.
With Sol Guy. K'naan is an acclaimed Somali-Canadian rap artist, poet, and songwriter, and his "Wavin' Flag" was the anthem of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. This watered-down autobiography chronicles his childhood: first in civil-war-ravaged Somalia, then in Toronto as a refugee, and how "music made [him] safe" through it all. Gutierrez's art has an intense graffiti-like energy. Music, lyrics, and a note on Somalia are appended.
