Summary

The Little Orange Alphabet!
A fun, fast-paced ABC adventure through Syracuse University with a little bit of humor!

Get ready for a wild ride through the world of Syracuse University, where every letter of the alphabet comes to life in true Orange fashion! From A for Alumni to Z for Z89 Student Radio, this book is packed with all the exciting things that make Syracuse so special.

Written by a fellow Syracuse alum, this book takes young readers on a journey through iconic campus spots and traditions like C for Carrier Dome (Officially the JMA Wireless Dome, but to us, it's the Carrier Dome forever. It's big, it's loud, and it's where the only thing more exciting than the game is trying to find your friend in a crowd of 40,000 screaming people. Spoiler alert: you won't!), F for Faegan's (the legendary Syracuse spot where students celebrate, socialize, and if they're old enough, take on the World Beer Tour! It's like a treasure hunt, but instead of gold, you get your name on a shiny plaque. Some call it history, some call it a challenge… but everyone calls it Faegan's!), and Z for Z89 Student Radio, where the beats never stop.

Bright, bold illustrations and fun descriptions make it an ideal read for future students, Syracuse fans, and families who want to share the magic of this amazing university. This is the perfect way to introduce kids to all things Orange and celebrate the pride of Syracuse University one letter at a time!
