Reach for this book when your child starts noticing that the world is much bigger than their own neighborhood, or when they express curiosity about why a friend speaks a different language at home. This isn't a typical alphabet book: it is a bridge to global thinking. While it follows the A to Z format, it playfully subverts expectations by showing that a Bee starts with A (Anu in Igbo) or an Elephant starts with K (Kifaru in Swahili). Through stunning scratchboard illustrations, the book fosters a deep sense of wonder and intellectual flexibility. It helps children understand that there are many valid ways to describe the same reality, promoting cultural empathy and cognitive agility. It is a perfect choice for multilingual families or any parent wanting to raise a world citizen who appreciates the beauty of linguistic diversity.
