P Is for Passport: A World Alphabet by Devin Scillian, illustrated by a collection of nationally acclaimed artists [in AsianWeek]
When have you ever had an alphabet book that used “xenophobia” for the letter X? “… you’ll need to leave one X at home, and that’s for ‘xenophobia,’” it reads. “Xenophobes have a fear of those from foreign lands. And they miss out on all the things a traveler understands.” With both an easy-to-read rhyming section and a corresponding explanatory section for each letter, this book is a must-have for every library. Passport is a necessary lesson on just how small our world is, and how much more important global understanding has become today.
