Grace Hopper

Reach for this book when your child is frustrated by a mistake or feels like their 'weird' hobbies don't fit in. It is a perfect choice for children who are natural tinkerers, especially those who tend to take things apart just to see how they work. The story follows Grace Hopper from her childhood clock-dismantling days to her career as a Navy Admiral who revolutionized how we talk to computers. This biography emphasizes that intelligence isn't just about being right, it is about being curious and persistent. With a lighthearted tone and humorous illustrations, it introduces complex concepts like coding and compilers in a way that feels like an adventure. It is an excellent tool for building self-confidence in kids who think differently and for showing that 'impossible' is often just a starting point.
