A review by arantzazureads
ADA Byron Lovelace & the Thinking Machine by Laurie Wallmark

5.0

Ada wrote the first computer program, AGES before computing even became a thing. To make her story even more remarkable, you'll learn that she was a teen, she had spent years crippled, and she was a woman in the early 1800s-- all things conspiring against her. But she was smart, eternally curious, had an encouraging parent, and never gave up. I can't think of a better role model for girls today!

This book is beautifully illustrated and written in a way that will engage and inspire kids of many ages.
