Letters to a Prisoner

I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. From the publisher - Told entirely through illustrations, Letters to a Prisoner is a wordless story about the power of hope and the written word. Inspired by Amnesty International’s letter-writing campaigns to help free people who have been jailed for expressing their opinion, the book tells the story of a man who is arrested during a peaceful protest. In solitary confinement, he begins to despair—until a bird delivers a letter of support written by somebody outside the prison. Every day more missives arrive until the prisoner escapes his fate on wings made of letters. Simple illustrations convey plenty of rich symbolism to provoke thought and discussion. A letter from the author provides more information about Amnesty International’s Write for Rights campaign. A Note From the Publisher - Sophisticated wordless picture book that explores letter-writing and human connection - Shows the power of the written word to drive change - Ties to social justice curriculum and current events - Key resource for International Human Rights Day, December 10th

Okay, this is a wonderfully written ... no, illustrated as there are no words ... book. It speaks of political prisoners and how Amnesty International can help them be free (whether in person or in dreams as a result of the letters written to them.) I, personally. would not use this book for anyone under the age of 12/13 as they probably won't get the concept but that is just my opinion.
