ABC and You and Me





Now in board book, this beautiful ode to movement and the human body is also a gorgeous alphabet book by award-winning and New York Times bestselling author/artist Corinna Luyken.

Award-winning artist Corinna Luyken inspires kids to move their bodies as they learn the alphabet with this playful approach to a fundamental concept.

Can you wiggle your wrists? Can you twist from your hips? Can you lean without bending your knees? Well then, follow me!

    In this original ABC book that encourages readers to sit up and move, kids and grownups use their bodies to make the shapes of each letter (and observant readers will notice details on each page that represent those letters). Gloriously illustrated by the acclaimed creator of The Book of Mistakes and My Heart, this is a terrific new way to learn the alphabet.

Praise for ABC and You and Me

Accolades for ABC and You and Me
"The illustrations are the real standout here, fluid and soft, a pale pastel palette setting the tone . . . The book’s greatest strength is its diversity—characters vary by ability, age, skin tone, and size, with a wide range of body types on display."—Kirkus
"In a message of acceptance and body positivity, this alphabet book encourages people of all ages and abilities to join in forming letters with their bodies. The soft illustrations include people with a variety of body shapes, ages, and skin and hair colors, plus people using wheelchairs and other assistive devices. This book also would be a natural to incorporate with movement programs for children." —Booklist
"Dang, this is a fun book!"—Betsy Bird, Fuse8 blog
