Ada Lovelace - A Biography in Rhyme

This biography of Ada Lovelace relates the story of an extraordinary genius who grew up in unusual circumstances.The daughter of the famous Lord Byron, Ada Lovelace didn't have the idyllic childhood one would expect for a child born into a baron's family. Her parents separated almost immediately after she was born, and her mother referred to Ada as 'it' (yikes) - what an environment for a little girl! Her headaches during childhood were so severe they nearly made her blind, and she was bedridden for nearly a year when she was eight, because of a severe attack of measles. Through it all, her passion for reading (she loved numbers and technology) and music kept her going. As she famously asked, 'If you can't give me poetry, can't you give me poetical science?'Whimsically titled 'Mother of Computers' and the 'Enchantress of Numbers', the story of the world's first Computer Programmer is definitely one worth telling to little kids, not only because of her genius, but also because of her perseverance, indomitable spirit, passion, and sheer, gritty, strength.Perfect forBabies, Toddlers, Children aged 0 to 7 yearsBirthday Presents, Christmas Presents, Presents for 'kids who have everything'Teaching Diversity and Inclusion by challenging traditional norms of what a hero looks likeAnyone who like rhyming books and needs a dose of hopeWhy Parents and Teachers love the bookFeatures an inspiring Heroine to encourage little steministsGlossary explaining all the 'big' wordsTimeline chronicling Ada's lifeFree Teaching Resources for the book at www.ramyajulian.com
