Illustrated by
Theodore, III Taylor.
The country rap star makes his obligatory celebrity foray into children's books with this ABC trip into Old Town Road territory. From "A is for adventure" to "Z is for...zzzzz," text and art mosey through a day on the ranch with, one assumes, little Lil Nas X and his pony, Panini. The featured words aren't always inspired, but the performer's messages of acceptance and love pop up from time to time: "Y is for y'all. We've got love for everybody, no matter who you are, where you're from, what you look like." Taylor's uncluttered digital illustrations are focused on the young cowpoke, his close family, and his happy trails.
