Ada Lovelace, written by Isabel Sanchez Vegara and illustrated by Zafouko Yamamoto, is part of the Little People, Big Dreams series. Meet
Ada Lovelace, the British mathematician and daughter of poet Lord
Byron. From her early love of logic, to her plans for the world's first
computer program, learn about Ada's life in this mini biography for
readers as young as four years. This inspiring story of her life
features a facts and photos section at the back.
Ada Lovelace
is a biography for young readers, that is well done and charmingly
illustrated. I found the combination of facts and cute to be inspiring
and informative for readers of all ages that want a quick lesson on the
woman behind the technology that changed our world. I like that the book
encourages children to combine the things they love with the things
they need and learn about. That just might be the encouragement the next
game changer needs to follow their dreams and create something that
will change the way we think and work all over again. I liked the time
line and additional information that is included at the end of the book
intended for older readers and those that might be sharing this book
with younger readers. I think I am going to need to explore this series a
little more, both for myself and the school library.
