Lovelace is a figure I wish that I knew more about. Seriously, friends, this lady is the mother of Binary code! She's basically the reason we have computers. And yet when we teach Women's history we teach Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and Clara Barton. That's about it. Kids need more female STEM heroes, which is where books like this one come into play. This is a very basic book. We are given only the simplest information. Vegara doesn't even use the term binary. Use this book to introduce the topic, to pique a child's interest.
More information: Ada Lovelace releases March 1.
