A is for Avocado (Read-Aloud Rhymes), a playful read-aloud collection of poems by Charles Jay with vibrant illustrations by Los Angeles-based artist CJ Wild, has officially joined the IngramSpark catalog, making it available to booksellers worldwide, including Barnes & Noble. The book continues to be available globally on Amazon, where it first launched.

Designed for children ages 3 to 5, the book features whimsical characters such as the Trojan Horse, Blue-Tailed Mermaid, and Lonely Coyote. Each poem is crafted for read-aloud enjoyment, encouraging participation, imaginative play, and playful conversation between children and adults.

“Joining the IngramSpark catalog is an important step in bringing A is for Avocado to more families and educators,” says Charles Jay. “While it launched on Amazon, this wider distribution ensures bookstores and libraries can offer the book to young readers.”

“Illustrating this collection allowed me to bring bold, graphic characters to playful, imaginative stories,” adds CJ Wild. “IngramSpark makes it possible for more children to interact with the illustrations and create their own narratives.”

The book is listed under ISBN 9788797655832 and is available through most major booksellers. High-resolution images, sample pages, and the full media kit are available for download, and review copies can be requested.
