In this visually inventive Caldecott Honor book, Stephen T. Johnson transforms the mundane architecture of New York City into a series of hidden letterforms. Through meticulously rendered watercolor paintings, the artist reveals how structural elements like fire escapes, scaffolding, and bridge supports subtly mimic the shapes of the alphabet, encouraging readers to re-examine their urban environment.
