Description
Preschooler Alfie has been feeling down, and it isn't just the rain. The kids at school think his name is weird, and it's left him in the dumps. But with the arrival of his awesome babysitter Quentin, Alfie will learn that there's a whole world of possibilities in the letters that make up his name!
From A is for Acrobat to E is for Electrician, Quentin and Alfie start to imagine all the wonderful things Alfie could grow up to be—and learn a lot along the way.
With elements of alphabet literacy and Black boy joy woven seamlessly throughout, this is the first instalment in a four-book series, based on the bestselling podcast of the same name and created in partnership with Pinna, a multi-award-winning audio streaming service for kids.
After A Is for Alfie hits shelves, readers can look forward to three holiday-themed jacketed hardcovers that follow Quentin and Alfie on even more adventures: E Is for Easter (Winter 2026), C Is for Christmas (Fall 2026), and H Is for Halloween (Spring/Summer 2027).
