Who Says Women Can't Be Computer Programmers?: The Story of Ada Lovelace

40 pp. | Holt/Ottaviano | February, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-1-62779-299-8 $18.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Marjorie Priceman. This picture book biography covers the basics of computer programmer Lovelace's (1815–52) life: the conflict between her practical mother (a mathematician) and romantic father (poet Lord Byron); her pioneering work with Charles Babbage; etc. The book's layout mirrors Lovelace's own analytical and imaginative sides, with a clean Helvetica type carrying the straightforward text and Priceman's warmly curved gouache and ink illustrations creating colorful flights of fancy.
