From Archie to Zack

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.
