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 favourite font-obsessed friend, and more.

"Each letter of the alphabet gets fresh and fancy in this primer from typography guru Hische...A charmingly illustrated and designed work."—Kirkus


"This is a book that is meant to be read out loud and shared so listeners can admire the metaphoric drawings...For schools or libraries needing a readaloud alphabet book, this is for children who already know their letters."—School Library Jounal
