Ada Lovelace

I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. From the publisher - Discover the lives of outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists. All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child with a dream. 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.

As a librarian, I insist on learning something new every day --- I had ZERO IDEA that Ada Lovelace was Lord Byron's daughter. I was shocked! A dreamer and a romantic like her father, her mother made her concentrate on math and logic - and she was great at it and we can thank her for many things, including using her inventive side to create the calculator as we know it now. I loved the illustrations and the story - what a great book to get girls interested in STEM!
