Description

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 Anu in Igbo.

Ari in Turkish.

Aamoo in Ojibwe.

And Abelha in Portuguese.

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.

Publisher Review

This book literally blows my mind!! And my eldest daughter's and yet we find it so fascinating (and educational) - what's not to love?! This is an exquisitely illustrated multilingual alphabet book; each page is vibrantly colourful and contains the most beautiful drawings of the animal it details... It has prompted lots of questions like, "where do they speak that language, Mummy?" * Mini Travellers *
