Description

A sardonic spin on the ABC book, A is for Anarchist is a sharp knife in a drawer full of safety scissors.

Wrylywritten by critically acclaimedrapper billy woods and sublimely illustrated by artist m. musgrove, A is for Anarchist upends the traditional ABC format with earnestness that belies its irreverence. Anarchist takesmodest ideas, like E is for Energy and G is for Ghosts, and flips them into incisive commentary on modern life and the state of the world.Also, it has to be the only alphabet book with annotated footnotes and a Nas reference.
