First, this text reads more like a graphic poem, which is something I have not come across before. Second, the proceeds go towards helping refugees all over the world, and to those with a home who can't imagine not having one, I say, read this text. Sea Prayer is the story of a the loss of not only a home but of a way of life and the pillars that uphold a life. In the case of Sea Prayer the home belonged to a father and a son from Syria. Sea Prayer shows the life before and the life through war, the good times before and the destruction during, and only alludes to the hope of continued survival, like a prayer, through a perilous journey and perhaps a new life with a new way in a new land which would never replace or console the losses of what had been but which would allow a father and a son to keep on living with all of the potential they have.
The illustrations in this text create powerful waves of emotion whilst following the poem, which make this text such an interesting and dynamic literary and visual experience. Enjoy this text as you do life, for what it is, and then, with the realizations this text offers, pursue good change in the world, as a father pursues good change for his son.
