For Alphabet Fiesta, Anne Miranda commissioned six- to eight-year-olds in Madrid to create the art. The result is a witty, charming stroll through the alphabet in two languages. It begins with Armand the armadillo, who receives “an absolutely adorable invitation to a surprise party” (“una invitacion absolutamente adorable, le invitaban a la fiesta sorpresa”) and ends at that party for Zaza the zebra. In between, young readers meet an engaging cast of characters who entertain while they teach.
