Description
A poignant and powerful letter from a father to his son, written on the eve of their journey across the sea. Khaled Hosseini's Sea Prayer is a heart-wrenching exploration of the refugee crisis, told in a simple yet evocative style. The book is a tribute to the millions of families who have been forced from home by war and persecution.
Written in response to the tragic image of young Alan Kurdi, the book is a vivid portrait of life in Homs, Syria, before the war, and of the city's swift transformation into a deadly war zone. The author's aim is to pay tribute to those affected by the crisis, and to raise awareness of the lifesaving relief efforts being supported by the UNHCR and The Khaled Hosseini Foundation.
Hardback, 48 pages, published in 2018. Donations from the author's proceeds will support these vital efforts.
