As conditions for refugees worsened, Ai Weiwei was inspired by the discarded life jackets on the shores of Lesbos to create a bold installation that would grab the attention of the world. Cátia Chien masterfully portrays the intricate life of Ai Weiwei with inspirations from woodblock printing and a special emphasis on the color orange, the same color of the life jackets that became a beacon of hope. Through Cátia's dynamic and stunning illustrations, we see how Ai Weiwei became the activist and artist he is today while proving the power of art within humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoanna Ho is the award-winning and \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author of many children's books, including \u003ci\u003eWe Who Produce Pearls\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEyes That Kiss in the Corners, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Silence That Binds Us\u003c\/i\u003e, her debut young adult novel, which received the Young Adult Honor for the Asian\/Pacific American Award for Literature.
