Notes From Your Bookseller

Ellen Heck's picture book debut is a fun romp through the animal alphabet. A is for Bee is an extraordinarily illustrated look at what animals are called around the world. How is it that "F" is for butterfly and "Y" is for porcupine? You'll have to flip through this incredible gift book to see how everything and everyone are interconnected.

What letter does the word bee start with?
If you said “B” you’re right – in English!
But in many, many languages, it actually starts with A.
Bee is Aṅụ̄ in Igbo,
Aamoo in Ojibwe,
Abelha in Portugese.
And Arı in Turkish.

Come and explore the gorgeous variations in the ways we talk about familiar things, unified and illuminated through Ellen Heck’s eye-catching, graphic scratchboard details and hidden letterforms.
