Summary: A
wordless story told entirely through illustrations, Letter to a Prisoner captures the power of hope and the freedom to
express ones ideas. Inspired by Amnesty International’s Write for Rights
campaign, the book shares the story of a man who has been detained for
participating in a peaceful protest. While in solitary confinement, the man
loses hope of ever being released and begins to despair. Amidst his sadness, a
letter of support delivered by a bird arrives. Day by day letters are delivered
to him from all parts of the world filling his cell up to capacity. The man is
then released in the most unexpected way.
Review:
Delivering a powerful message about freedom of expression, Letters to a Prisoner truly empowers and motivates the reader to
take a stance and understand that every individual has the power to effect
change in the world.
