Who says Women can’t be Computer Programmers? The Story of Ada Lovelace by Tanya Lee Stone - ADVISABLE

Stone, Tanya Lee Who says Women can’t be Computer Programmers? The Story of Ada Lovelace illustrated by Marjorie Priceman.  NON-FICTION. Henry Holt (Macmillan), 2018.  $18.

This is the story of Ada Lovelace from her restrictive yet highly educated childhood, to her revelation that Math and Imagination can go hand in hand, to her brilliant programming discoveries. Filled with whimsical illustrations.

This is a fantastic book with easy to understand information –a great read-a-loud or research book for 2-4th grade. In my library we have a non-fiction book of Ada already –but this one is more appealing to a younger audience and could be used as an accompaniment to the other –which features photographs.
