1 post | 2 read | 1 to read
Discover the NATO phonetic alphabet and find layers of connection in every letter in a stunning abecedarian from celebrated artist Isabelle Arsenault. "Alpha, Bravo, Charlie . . . "Since 1956, whenever time and clarity are of the essence, everyone from firefighters to air traffic controllers has spelled out messages using the NATO phonetic alphabet. Now, with equal precision infused with a singular wit and whimsy award-winning author-illustrator Isabelle Arsenault interprets this internationally recognized code and makes it her own. From the elegant "Tango"to the enigmatic "Echo, "from the humorous "Kilo "to the haunting "Romeo "and "Juliet, "the striking art in this remarkable ABC book elicits laughter and curiosity, calls up endless associations, and will draw the viewer back again and again."

#SeptemberDanes Day 28: This NATO phonetic alphabet book is perfect for #FactFiction as Arsenault provides an artistic interpretation of each word that stands for each letter. While a lot of the visual allegory may be lost to young children (note Romeo and Juliet), this is precisely the reason why adults need to mediate sophisticated picturebooks such as these. There simply is no shortcut around it. My full review: https://wp.me/sDlzr-alpha
