Meet Ada Lovelace, the British mathematician and daughter of poet Lord Byron. Part of the beloved Little People, BIG DREAMS series, this inspiring and informative little biography follows the colourful life of Lord Byron’s daughter, from her early love of logic, to her plans for the world’s first computer program.

As a child, Ada had a big imagination and a talent for mathematics. She grew up in a noble household in England, where she dedicated herself to studying. Her work with the famous inventor, Charles Babbage, on a very early kind of computer made her the world’s first computer programmer. This moving book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical images and a detailed profile of the mathematician’s life.

Little People, BIG DREAMS is a bestselling biography series for kids that explores the lives of outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists and activists. All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child with a dream.

This empowering series of books offers inspiring messages to children of all ages, in a range of formats. The board books are told in simple sentences, perfect for reading aloud to babies and toddlers. The hardback and paperback versions present expanded stories for beginning readers. With rewritten text for older children, the treasuries each bring together a multitude of dreamers in a single volume. You can also collect a selection of the books by theme in boxed gift sets. Activity books and a journal provide even more ways to make the lives of these role models accessible to children.

Inspire the next generation of outstanding people who will change the world with Little People, BIG DREAMS!

This book is a bit short but it's still good. This is a real story about a clever woman and it happened a long time ago. Girls can do anything.

I liked some of the pictures and her childhood. And I would like to recommend it to young people who when they grow up they want to be mathematicians or scientists.

In the story Ada Lovelace’s mummy says just stick to Maths and not your imagination. She tried to do both and it worked.

This book was about a woman called Ada Lovelace who grew up to be an amazing mathematian, and the world's first computer programmer. This book was a non-fiction story of Ada's life and achievements. Yes, to people who love mathematics.

It was very interesting to learn about Ada Lovelace’s life as she created what would in the future be a base to all computer programming.

I thought this was a good depiction of her life and that the pictures were a good addition because it makes it easier for younger children to understand. I also liked the section at the end that had portraits of her during her lifetime.
