About the Book

Discover the NATO phonetic alphabet – and find layers of connection in every letter – in an enchanting alphabet book from celebrated artist Isabelle Arsenault, illustrator of Jane, the Fox, and Me. Alpha, Bravo, Charlie... Since 1956, whenever time and clarity are of the essence, everyone from fire fighters to air traffic controllers has spelled out messages using the NATO phonetic alphabet. Now, with equal precision – infused with a singular wit and whimsy – the award-winning Isabelle Arsenault, illustrator of Jane, the Fox, and Me, 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 reader back again and again.

Review :
This is a brilliant concept; highly imaginative and attractive. Definitely a collector’s book, it will be enjoyed by curious minds and people of all ages that find beauty in all things. A unique alphabet book imbued with style and sophistication. Everyone in the Booksellers’ office wanted to keep Alpha, the new children’s book by artist Isabelle Arsenault. Her art and wit make Alpha a book for both children and adults, as it works on a number of levels. A great home and school resource that is bound to have wide appeal. Clever, whimsical, with highly-styled imagery that still retains a certain simplicity--it's just perfection, really. Altogether a book to be talked about and used in the way the alphabet was intended; simply Foxtrot Alpha Bravo!
