From Arthur for Zeb

In the colorful picture book From Arthur to Zeb, author-illustrator Vincent X. Kirsch subtly and warmly tells a story about friendship and love. What makes this book special is the unforced way in which this love, which happens to be between two boys, is depicted for children aged 5 and up.

Arthur likes Zeb and Zeb likes Arthur – everyone said it was so. But they don't dare say it out loud themselves. They spend every minute together, walking to school, doing homework, learning to ride a bike, and much more.

Arthur tries to write Zeb a letter to tell him how he feels. But the words never sound right, no matter how many times he rewrites the letter. So he hides them all. One by one, Arthur's friends find the letters… and they know exactly who they are for.

This picture book, translated by author and poet Pim Lammers, is ideal for conversations with children about friendship, LGBTQIA+ love, and diversity.

'A heartwarming, utterly charming story of friendship – and so much more.' Booklist
