In this ABC book, not only do readers travel from A to Z, they also are in for thrilling adventures and discoveries. Every letter equips the imagination with the necessary gear and spurs on children with companions such as helpful giraffes and friendly grandmas who give them sweets for the road. This winning book thus sets up encounters with the alphabet and offers fitting pictorial accents that will inspire discussion in even the youngest readers. Aside from writing for children, Emi Sini and Aggelos Aggelou have been running successful music and theatre programs for children since 2005. Kostas Theoharis’s pictures, which use hand printing and recall graphic design and book illustrations of the late 1950s, received the Greek Award for Graphic Art and Illustration in 2015 in the “book” category. The artist also works in the field of handprint art.
