Review This is a book that has rightfully won numerous awards. It contains sources and informational text that lends credibility and authority to the author. The bright, cheerful illustrations seem to match the bold, spunky American woman, who is the book’s subject. It could serve as a brief introduction to women’s rights or gender issues. It’s short, but very informative, and would be a great choice for kids who just want to read about important historical figures, as well (Flock, 2017). Themes Determination History Medicine Sexism Women’s Rights Gender Issues Application This would be a great resource for an elementary classroom.

Age Range: 5 - 9 Awards Won: ALA Notable Book; Amelia Bloomer Top Ten; NCTE Orbis Pictus recommended book; Booklist starred review; School Library Connection starred review Review From the award-winning author/illustrators Diane Stanley and Jessie Hartland comes a unique and wonderful addition to children’s non-fiction literature. The fascinating, but complicated, biography is organized in a narrative non-fiction style that is accessible and interesting for younger audiences. Short sentences in large font are supported by informative illustrations. Gouache paintings colorful but muted tones convey Lovelace’s energy and passion through wiggly, busy brushstrokes and layered hues. End papers include an author’s note, time line, bibliography and glossary. Themes Biography; Science & Technology; Math; Feminist Literature Application Celebrate Ada Lovelace Day at your school or library. Invite women from your community of students’ parents with STEM or STEAM-based careers to speak about their experience. Include this title in a book display about coding, especially if your library offers programs or special events in science and technology.
