Sigrid Martinez ABC

Alphabets: illustrators love to try them (until they have to think of something starting with X) and we love to feature them. Fortunately, you love to buy them too, giving us the excuse we need to slaver over illustrators' websites all day.

At the going rate, we're bringing you an alphabet every couple of weeks. Has anyone yet covered an *entire room* with the best of the bunch? Let us know.

Meanwhile, if there's still a space that needs filling (or you've been holding out for that perfect alphabet, never mind that junior is now fifteen years old and writing his first novel), consider this lovely print from Sigrid Martinez.

Lots to love about this one, but it's the beatific bear that I like best. Can anyone figure out what the X solution is this time?
