description: Told entirely through illustrations Letters to a Prisoner is a wordless story about the power of hope and the written word. Inspired by Amnesty International's letter-writing campaigns to help free people who have been jailed for expressing their opinion the book tells the story of a man who is arrested during a peaceful protest. In solitary confinement he begins to despair--until a bird delivers a letter of support written by somebody outside the prison. Every day more missives arrive until the prisoner escapes his fate on wings made of letters. A letter from the author provides more information about Amnesty International's Write for Rights campaign.
