pickThe power of the pen is demonstrated in this #wordless tale of a political prisoner, set free as a result of a letter-writing campaign. An outstanding #picturebook for all ages, one that uses small sequential images in the way that a graphic novel does.
Words are superfluous when the images are so articulate. I can practically hear the paper ripping and the door slamming.
pickThis HF book is very interesting because it only has pictures. It highlights human rights & unjust imprisonment in the world today. Students have the ability to let the pictures guide the story & write their own. #UCFLAE3414F17
pick5 stars
This graphic novel story is, more or less, told solely through pictures. There are no words to read except in one place, and then only as accessories to the story rather than the story itself. In the story a man is unjustly imprisoned. His cell is dreary and he is without hope, that is until he begins to receive letters from the outside world. Each one brings a light and spirit of encouragement which keep him going until he is free. ❤️
pick5⭐️ This book has no words, but conveys a very powerful message. The Circle lovers are protesting against the square lovers. A circle lover gets thrown in jail, but birds and mice help bring him letter until he can be freed. It‘s hard to explain without seeing it for yourself. At the end, the author gives information about the Write for Rights campaign from Amnesty International and how his involvement in that, inspired this book.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book is lovely. Not only am I going to purchase a copy, but I want to see if my school can participate in Amnesty International's Write for Rights.
