I wished that when I was younger, there were picture books available that were on STEM and coding. This was a quick and fun read, with pretty illustrations. I can definitely see younger readers loving this!

“So the bookcase is like a variable in programming. And books are the value for that variable.”
When Adi needs help cleaning her room, Gabi suggests that she sorts things and organizes that way. Just the way computer programmers organize their blocks of code. “Each variable is like a bin to store something in.” and the item in the bin is the value. They also throw in an example of an array.
Includes activities that help to reinforce the concept of variables, values and arrays. This is such a great real-world example for students to help them understand the ideas behind computer coding.

Good storybook to help explain computer-programming to children without getting too complex. Though it isn't super detailed it explains it to clearly give an accurate idea what computer programming is about without getting too overwhelming. It doesn't actually teach coding, but helps makes the concept easier to understand.
It also has a female main character of color who is intelligent which kids need to see more of in media. Female characters in general that are intelligent are not portrayed enough-- well there is nothing wrong with a boy in a book/cartoon like Jimmy Neutron; there needs to be more of a variety so other kids can see themselves represented or a character that they can relate to better.
