Description
"Archie loves Zack!"
"Zack loves Archie!"
Everyone said it was so.
But Archie hasn't told Zack yet. And Zack hasn't told Archie. They spend just about every minute together: walking to and from school, doing science and art projects, practicing for marching band, learning to ride bikes, and so much more.
Over the course of a few months, Archie tries to write a letter to Zack to tell him how he feels: "From A to Z." None of his drafts sound quite right, so he hides them all away. One by one, Archie's friends (Zelda, Zinnia, and Zuzella) find the letters . . . but they know exactly whom they're meant for.
This new picture book from Vincent X. Kirsch celebrates young, queer love in a whimsical, kid-friendly way.
An unapologetic celebration of friendship and first crushes from author-illustrator Vincent X. Kirsch

Reviews
**STARRED REVIEW**
"A pure and perfect capture of first love, joyful and painful in the worries and doubt; the love on the page is so vivid it raises goosebumps of veracity and provides parents with a model to share with any child in the throes of a lasting crush."
This is a gentle, catchy, quick read that is sure to put a smile on the listener's face and a request for another read-through. * Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books *
[A] heartwarming, sweet-spirited story of friendship and more. * Booklist *
