Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Author-illustrator Vincent X. Kirsch's picture book From Archie to Zack is 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 picture book from Vincent X. Kirsch celebrates young, queer love in a whimsical, kid-friendly way.

"A pure and perfect capture of first love." -- School Library Journal (Starred Review)

Archie and Zack are inseparable, both in elementary school and outside it, but Archie is having trouble telling Zack about his love, so he writes a letter, from A. to Z.; in fact he writes a lot of letters, but they do not sound right so he hides them, and though his other friends, Zelda, Zinnia, and Zuzella, find the letters, they all understand who the letters are really for.
