A Is for Art an Abstract Alphabet

“A is for Art: An Abstract Alphabet” is a remarkable journey of discovery about art and language through painting, collage, and sculpture by Caldecott Honor artist Stephen T. Johnson. With literal renderings of each letter, complete with witty titles and playful, alliterative captions, Johnson’s abstract art forges connections between words, objects, and ideas. Can you find the hidden letters? Look closely and you will see a letter “C” made of colorful candy, a letter “H” hidden in a hook, and an “S” in a soft shadow. From A to Z, each stunning, original work of art will stimulate the imagination and creativity of children and adults alike.
