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 Tangoto 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.
