Rabe follows a young girl through her first 12 days of kindergarten in this book based on the familiar Christmas carol. Sure to excite the youngest fans of Lil Nas X. (This book was reviewed digitally with 9-by-22-inch double-page spreads viewed at 57.4% of actual size.) Assuredly, Lil Nas X was trolling when he tweeted that this endeavor would the “the best kids book of all time,” but it delivers on expanding the boundary-busting, genre-blending, self-defining, positive-energy universe that Lil Nas X is building for his youthful fan base. Coretta Scott King John Steptoe Award winner Taylor provides the illustrations, taking a (mostly) realistic approach to depicting a pint-sized artist amid his beautiful family. But remember, this is Lil Nas X, so there’s also his gaudy “swag” (letter S), “fake fur” (letter F), signature “hats” (letter H), and stylish “boots” (letter B). There’s the expected animals (horses, cows, rabbits), “dirt” (letter D), and beautiful sunset landscapes (featuring that famous road for the letter O). X’s brand of joyousness, boldness, and abundant love follow through in this alphabet book that presents a day in the life of a child Lil Nas X on his ranch.

Even deeper, his courage in publicly declaring and living his gay identity and his hilarious social media antics have buoyed his fame. This alphabet book glides on the style of viral country-trap superstar Lil Nas X.īy now just about everyone must know the words to 2019’s ever present “Old Town Road.” Those who follow Lil Nas X closely may also recall the initial rejection he weathered as a Black artist who sought to blend hip-hop and country.
