Every Boy's Alphabet cover

Every boy is his own action hero in this modern alphabet of childhood, unique, inquisitive, mischievous, and endlessly imaginative. The affection visible in Luke Martineau's fluid illustrations is matched by Kate Bingham's tender, witty poem, written to appeal to adults as much as to the puzzling younger mind. Every Girl's Alphabet also available - 9781912654536.

This alphabet was inspired by original paintings of Luke’s children and by the woodcuts of William Nicholson. As in traditional alphabets, every letter is illustrated by a simple object or action. Running alongside, Kate’s poem takes a less literal approach, responding to the mood of each picture in a loosely rhymed celebration of childhood. -- Publisher: Graffeg
