A Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller
A deeply moving, gorgeously illustrated short story for people of all ages from the international bestselling author of The Kite Runner, brought to life by Dan Williams's beautiful illustrations
'The book may be brief, but it is beautiful, poetic - a distillation of his strengths' Sunday Times
On a moonlit beach a father cradles his sleeping son as they wait for dawn to break and a boat to arrive. He speaks to his boy of the long summers of his childhood, recalling his grandfather's house in Syria, the stirring of olive trees in the breeze, the bleating of his grandmother's goat, the clanking of her cooking pots. And he remembers, too, the bustling city of Homs with its crowded lanes, its mosque and grand souk, in the days before the sky spat bombs and they had to flee.
When the sun rises they and those around them will gather their possessions and embark on a perilous sea journey in search of a new home.
Proceeds from the sale of Sea Prayer will go to The Khaled Hosseini Foundation and UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency to help fund life-saving support and build better futures for refugees around the world.

'Am Abend vor dem Meer' erzählt mit farbigen Illustrationen und wenigen Worten von Krieg und Flucht – von der Angst vor dem Meer – und würdigt das verlorene Leben ertrunkener Menschen, die ihr einst lebendiges, nun zerstörtes Land verlassen mussten. Kaum Worte, die tief wirken. „Wenn sie nur wüssten, was in dir steckt. Wenn sie das nur zur Hälfte wüssten. Dann wären sie freundlicher.“

Wirklich sehr schöne Illustrationen. Eine kurze Erzählung über den Krieg und die Folgen. Sehr aktuell gerade 🥹🥺❤️ Khaled Hosseini hat die Bilder und die Texte wirklich sehr passend gestaltet. Das Buch verdient eig. eine 5 Sterne Bewertung jedoch muss ich ehrlicherweise sagen ich mag Fiktionen lieber als Realitätsbezogene Bücher. Denn Bücher sind mein Safe Space und da möchte ich Bücher die gerne spannend sind aber nicht zu sehr an schreckliche Dinge erinnern, wie beispielsweise Krieg. Denn man hört aktuell überall etwas von Krieg und da möchte man beim Bücher lesen einfach abschalten. 🫶🏽
