Some stories arrive quietly, like a tide at dawn, and leave you forever changed.
Sea Prayer is a luminous, illustrated meditation on love, loss, and the refugee crisis—written as a letter from a father to his sleeping son on the eve of a perilous sea crossing. In spare, achingly beautiful prose, Khaled Hosseini captures both the tender memories of their life in Homs, Syria before the war, and the impossible choice that now lies before them.
This is Hosseini at his most distilled and powerful. In under 48 pages, he conjures an entire world: the scent of jasmine in a beloved city, the transformation of home into war zone, the weight of a parent’s hope and fear. “Intensely moving…Powerfully evocative of the plight in which displaced populations find themselves,” notes Kirkus in a starred review.
Inspired by the haunting image of three-year-old Alan Kurdi, whose small body washed ashore in Turkey in 2015, Hosseini created this work as both tribute and call to action. Author proceeds benefit the UNHCR and The Khaled Hosseini Foundation, supporting refugee relief efforts worldwide.
Accompanied by stunning illustrations, Sea Prayer is a book for readers of all ages—a slim volume that carries the emotional weight of an epic. Perfect for those seeking meaningful, socially conscious literature, or anyone who has ever loved Hosseini’s gift for illuminating our shared humanity.
