From swimming pigs to pirate legends, blue holes to Junkanoo drums - the Bahamas is far more than postcard beaches, and this book takes young readers island by island, letter by letter, through the real story of this remarkable nation.

Written for curious readers aged 7-12, ABCs of The Bahamas turns every letter of the alphabet into a doorway: A leads to the hidden blue holes of Andros, J to the drums and costumes of Junkanoo, L to the Lucayan people who called these islands home centuries before Columbus arrived, and Z to a small, soft-voiced dove that fills island gardens with its call. Along the way, readers meet a national bird that owes its pink feathers to shrimp, a beach coloured by microscopic sea creatures, a beloved sea snail that shows up in salads and songs alike, and a French monastery that somehow ended up on a tropical hillside.
