Ellen Heck
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.
A is for Bee: An Alphabet Book in Translation explores 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.
Hardcover | 40 pages | 205 x 275 mm
