“This book delivers exceptional storytelling with a message that stays with you. Through Qusay’s voice, we witness how strength, love, and deep care for others can become powerful tools to face, and rise above, unimaginable hardship. His journey doesn’t sugarcoat pain or struggle, but shows how someone can not only survive devastation, but grow far beyond it. It’s a short, powerful read that invites reflection without ever feeling heavy-handed.” - FerPH
“This was very important read! I highly recommend service providers to read this book and learn about refugees with disabilities unique experiences.” - Mustafa
“This is a very moving book! It inspired me from the very beginning of the book until the end. Qusay Hussein shows us over and over that even with severe obstacles to overcome physically, our ability is way more important than any disability we may encounter. I loved it and can’t wait for more stories!” - Megan
“Can You Open My Eyes?" is a beautifully crafted book that encourages readers to look beyond the surface and examine their own perceptions. It’s a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. Highly recommended!” - Kindle Customer
