Alpha Bravo Charlie Book Launch at Vancouver Maritime Museum

Kids love codes. I think it’s something to do with the excitement of sending secret messages. There’s a whole world of codes when it comes to maritime communication. The new kids book Alpha Bravo Charlie: The Complete Book of Nautical Codes is one of those gorgeous Phaidon picture books, and you can meet the Vancouver author, Sara Gillingham, at the Vancouver Maritime Museum.

Alpha Bravo Charlie!

The book includes a unique assortment of ships and secret codes such as Signal Flags, Semaphore and the NATO phonetic alphabet are illustrated with bold and graphic imagery. This book has been created with young adventurers in mind, and brings the world of ships — a world we know so little about, but depend on so much — to the surface. It may even inspire some readers to find adventure as a ship’s captain on the high seas!
