Finished: Sea Prayer (Hosseini) A beautifully written and illustrated book written as a letter from a father to a son just before they are set to journey on the perilous ocean as refugees, escaping their once idyllic, now war-torn Syrian city. The book is less than 50 pages, but powerful and heart wrenching in every word. Inspired by the horrific image of three year old Alan Kurdi, the Syrian boy who washed up on the shore in 2015 after trying to flee Syria, Hosseini paints a vivid picture in his words, and illustrator Dan Williams, beautifully haunting watercolor pictures on every page. Definitely worth buying the real book for this one. I'm not sure the electronic reader would do it justice!
