This highly unusual and scientific alphabet book will intrigue those sky gazers who see shapes in the clouds. ----Kirkus Reviews 7/1/17 There is a certain nerdy awesomeness to Voiland's photographic journey through the Roman alphabet--the sheer wonder of finding patterns in nature, ... an enjoyable read for the most scientifically-minded of kids. ----School Library Journal August 2017 * This remarkable bird's-eye (okay, satellite's-eye) view of the planet peers down at dramatic overhead images of lakes, clouds, rivers, fjords, and other phenomena, finding the letters of the alphabet hidden within them. .. it's a book that lets readers see Earth--and the alphabet--in a new light. Publishers Weekly, starred review--Publishers Weekly *STARRED REVIEW Publishers Weekly Twenty or so years from now, we may point to this book as the launchpad for the careers of astrophysicists and astronauts.
