In relatively few words and with superb illustrations it tells the story of the thirteen-year old K'naan, whose family was suddenly confronted with civil war violence in Mogadishu and fled first to New York City and from there to Toronto, Canada. This creative and impressive book for children aged six and up tells the story behind that song. Since it became the theme song of the Soccer World Cup in 2010, many young people all over the world have come to know and love the " Wavin' Flag " song of Canadian-Somali Hip Hop singer K'naan (born Keynaan Abdi Warsame). Note: Poet, rapper, and singer-songwriter, K'naan, recounts his story, in which, he and his family were in danger and fled his home in Somali to live in New York and eventually found a home in Canada.
