PS
This translated abecedary, originally published in Portugal, presents a feeling for each letter of the alphabet. Terms such as Excited, Grumpy, and Original are printed underneath an illustration of each beginning letter; opposite, full-bleed watercolor and ink illustrations depict the same brown-eyed boy engaged in a figurative representation of that emotion. This simple presentation calls attention to Moniz's evocative, well-composed images.
