Why read it?
1 author picked Sea Prayer as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Hosseini's book is timely and important. It is a story inspired by the image of a child washed up on the beach of a foreign shore. It tells the story of another child, whose parent send them off on a vessel across a wide ocean in search of a less turbulent future. The art is sweeping. The words travel far into the heart.
From Kao's list on learning about refugees.
