From the New York Times best-selling creator of Tomorrow I'll Be Brave comes a delightful spin on the traditional alphabet book, featuring creatively hand-lettered words from A to Z and an affirming message for young readers.

Did you know letters can be ATHLETIC, BUBBLY, or even CREEPY?

Using unique lettering styles to showcase a fun word for each letter of the alphabet, this inventive picture book by creator Jessica Hische highlights how letters can come in all shapes and sizes—and are awesome in their own ways.

Not only conveying the value of differences to little ones but also introducing young readers to some “bigger” words through typography, this book makes a great gift for baby showers, big-kid birthdays, your favorite font-obsessed friend, and more.
