Wings For My People

Wings For My People is the true, handwritten story of Grace Salongo — a boy who grew up in the Kyangwali refugee settlement in Western Uganda and dared to dream beyond his circumstances. Beautifully illustrated by Caroline Leung, this 8"×8" hardcover picture book is told in Grace's own words, for readers of every age. 


Your donation of $10 or more reserves your copy, and 100% of proceeds support My Home Stars' work in the community that inspired this story. Every copy sold directly supports:

  • School supplies and textbooks for students at Kyangwali who cannot afford them.
  • Donated copies of the book delivered to schools in the settlement — so Grace's peers can hold his story in their hands.
  • Educational programming such as the 5 Staz Academic Challenge alongside our partner schools. 
  • The development of future student-authored books — giving more student voices a platform.

Over two million displaced individuals call Uganda's refugee settlements home. Grace is one of them. And through this book, he is choosing to speak — not just for himself, but for all of them.
