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
Aṅụ̄
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 Heck’s eye-catching, graphic scratchboard details and hidden letterforms.
P R A I S E
★ “A gorgeous collection for linguists of all ages."

(starred)
“The ultimate demonstration of inclusion, and the beauty of world languages. This lavishly illustrated multilingual alphabet book isn’t about inclusion, it is inclusion.”
"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”
