Alphabetical Sydney

This is our Sydney, the brightest and best of it, north to the south to the east and the west of it. Bats and cicadas, lawn bowls and the zoo. This is our town. Let us share it with you. This bestselling playful and vibrantly illustrated picture book celebrates Sydney in all its diversity - from A to Z.

Antonia Pesenti and Hilary Bell have been friends since they met in Paris in 1995. Antonia is an architect and illustrator, and Hilary is a playwright and lyricist. Their friendship turned into a collaboration when they created the bestselling Alphabetical Sydney . The book has inspired a museum exhibition, a musical and many Book Week costumes. Hilary and Antonia continue to make books together that explore themes of place and belonging, with Numerical Street and, most recently, Summer Time.
