What letter does the word bee start with?
If you said B youre right in English!
But in many, many languages, it actually starts with A.
Bee is Aṅụ 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 Hecks eye-catching, graphic scratchboard details and hidden letterforms.

A gorgeous collection for linguists of all ages.

The ultimate demonstration of inclusion, and the beauty of world languages. This lavishly illustrated multilingual alphabet book isnt about inclusion, it is inclusion.
The New York Times
Kaleidoscopic and delightful. Any lover of language, or any child who likes new sounds, will be entranced.
Kory Stamper, NYT
Beautiful. A book that presents an understanding far beyond the usual. Marvelous
