The extraordinary story of a girl who saw machines not just as metal and math—but as poetry.

Long before Ada Lovelace became the world's first computer programmer, she was a curious girl with greasy fingers, wild ideas, and a deep love for machines that ticked, whirred, and whizzed.

In Victorian London, where young girls were expected to dance and embroider, Ada dreamed of flying mechanical horses and coded contraptions. With a notebook full of ideas and a mind bursting with both logic and imagination, Ada wasn't afraid to ask: "What if a machine could think?"

Join Ada on her whimsical journey through invention, discovery, and determination as she meets the brilliant Charles Babbage and envisions a future powered by imagination—and algorithms.

🛠️ A beautifully told story of curiosity, courage, and coding, perfect for ages 5–10:

  • Introduces young readers to Ada Lovelace in a fun, fictionalized way
  • Celebrates the power of STEM + creativity
  • Inspires girls and boys to explore, tinker, and imagine
  • Ideal for bedtime reading, classroom STEM units, and history lovers alike
  • Because every great invention begins with a bold question... and a little bit of code.
