Bookroo's summary
Archie and Zack are inseparable, sharing every moment from school to bike rides. Yet, Archie can't find the right words to express his feelings for Zack. He writes letters, hiding them away, unsure of how to reveal his heart. As friends discover these secret notes, they know exactly who they're meant for. Will Archie find the courage to share his true feelings? This whimsical tale captures the essence of young love and the bravery it takes to speak from the heart.
From the publisher
An unapologetic celebration of friendship and first crushes
“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.
