(2) K-3 Illustrated by Jessie Hartland. Stanley emphasizes Lovelace's right- and left-brain pedigree (her father, whom she never knew, was poet Lord Byron; her mother, a scientist and mathematician). Multiple entry points--Lovelace as female mathematician, nineteenth-century woman balancing career and family, and visionary kept in the background by society--should attract a diverse readership. Hartland's gouache illustrations combine visual playfulness with concrete points in the narrative. Timeline. Bib., glos.
