review:
'Ada Lovelace' by Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara with illustrations by Zafouko Yamamoto is a picture book about the life and times of Ada Lovelace.
Ada Lovelace had a mother who loved mathematics and a father who loved poetry. When her father left when Ada was little, Ada spent time with her grandparents and their cat. Ada had a good imagination, which she later learned with Charles Babbage working on a Difference Engine. What Ada did on the machine led to what we do with computers today.
There is a little more detail given in the back of the book along with some portraits of Ada. The illustrations are really good as is the text. Not too dense and of interest to young readers. I don't know if this will spark interest in young readers, but I enjoyed this book.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
