In the tradition of sophisticated primers like Shel Silverstein s ABZ Book or Oliver Jeffers s Once Upon an Alphabet and a fresh twist on the classic ABC book tailor-made for the twenty-first century, A Is For Anarchist has a provocative DIY/street-culture ethos in the tradition of old-school punk and the golden age of hip-hop cultures. This progressive and inspirational work takes simple terms, such as E is for Energy, and twists it to show the subversive meanings in the context of the current state of the world. With captions written by billy woods, who NPR s Rodney Carmichael coined as the best rapper of 2019, the words have a certain rhythm on the page that is hard to get out of one s head. The original art by Myra Musgrave amplifies the power behind the alternative definitions. In a time where people are beginning to see that the systems in place are not doing enough to help those in need, this is the perfect gift for readers who want to rock the foundations that organizations are based on. No one is too young or too old to be an anarchist!
