Free Leah

"Free Leah" is an illustrated account of the true story of Leah Sharibu's life and her abduction by a terrorist group.

Leah, a bright 14-year-old girl, was living with her family in Dapchi, Nigeria until the early morning of February 19th, 2018. Leah was at school when her village was attacked by Boko Haram, a jihadist militant terrorist group. She was abducted by the terrorists and brought into captivity along with 109 other classmates. They were forced to cram into vehicles and tragically 5 of the girls were killed by suffocation and trampling. One month later, the girls were returned to their village… all except one - Leah.
