Read the remarkable true story of a young boy's journey from civil war in east Africa to a refugee camp in Sudan, to a childhood on welfare in an affluent American suburb, and eventually to a full-tuition scholarship at Harvard University. Following his father's advice to "treat all people-even the most unsightly beetles-as though they were angels sent from heaven," Mawi overcomes the challenges of language barriers, cultural differences, racial prejudice, and financial disadvantage to build a fulfilling, successful life for himself in his new home. Of Beetles and Angels is at once a harrowing survival story and a compelling examination of the refugee experience. With hundreds of thousands of copies sold since its initial publication, and as a frequent selection as one book/one school/one community reads, this unforgettable memoir continues to touch and inspire readers. This special expanded fifteenth anniversary edition includes a new introduction and afterword from the author, a discussion guide, and more.Binding Type: Paperback

Stylish, Spacious, and Perfect for Everyday Use
Color: Brown/Acorn
absolutely love this Michael Kors Jet Set Travel crossbody bag! The design is great making it easy to pair with both casual and dressy outfits. Itβs surprisingly spacious for its size and keeps all my essentials organized without feeling bulky. The quality of the materials and craftsmanship is excellent, and it feels very durable. This has quickly become my go to bag for everyday use and travel! Great price!

Designer quality and design
Color: Vanilla/Acorn
This is the second Michael Kors bag in my collection, and Iβm pleased with both of them. These are quality items that are timeless and complement pretty much everything that i own.
At first, i thought that this was a travel bag in the sense that you would put toiletries in it, but itβs intended to be a smaller crossbody bag that you can travel with. Itβs meant to hold essential items and look quite stylish while doing so.
I chose this color since my luggage set and toiletry bags are all cream and brown. Classic, chic, elegant and sophisticated without screaming that this is a designer bag.
This comes packaged beautifully and carefully so that itβs protected. The strap is adjustable on both sides. The bag lives up to Michael Kors quality and is worth every penny. I need a matching wallet or wristlet NOW.
Highly recommended if you appreciate designer products that have a higher price point but will last for years and always be in style.

The best wallet I have ever owned!
Color: Gold-tone Hardware/Brown
I have bought multiple brands/styles of wallets and this is my favorite hands down! You can not beat the quality and craftsmanship. I have had one of these wallets for over 3 years and use it everyday and it still looks brand new. You can not go wrong with this Michael Korrs wallet.
