Philly ABCs: Jawns from A to Z

by Christopher Wink, Sara Scholl (Illustrator)

Overview

A lively and colorful ABC board book that brings the spirit of Philadelphia to life for young readers and their families.

From the cracked Liberty Bell to the ever-iconic cheesesteak, from row homes to soft pretzels, each page bursts with bright colors and playful rhymes that celebrate the city's most beloved landmarks, foods, and traditions. Key features:

• Key Locations: In Philly ABCs, a diverse group of kids explore important places throughout the city's neighborhoods, including Fairmount Park, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Schuylkill River, and beyond.
• History: Philly ABCs covers figures, landmarks, and events that define Philadelphia, including Ben Franklin, Independence Hall, and the New Year's Day Mummer's Parade
• Teaches balance: Philly life isn't always filled with "wooder ice," Jimmies, and cheesesteaks. There's also parking tickets and traffic on the Vine St. Expressway to contend with.

With authenticity at its core, this book is a joyful tribute to Philadelphia—its history, its people, and its unmistakable character—designed to entertain and educate youse and the next generation of Philly fans.
