Grace Hopper: Queen of Computer Code (People Who Shaped Our World, 1)

â€œIf youâ€™ve got a good idea, and you know itâ€™s going to work, go ahead and do it.â€
The inspiring story of Grace Hopperâ€”the boundary-breaking woman who revolutionized computer scienceâ€”is told told in an engaging picture book biography.
Â
Who was Grace Hopper? A software tester, workplace jester, cherished mentor, ace inventor, avid reader, naval leaderâ€”AND rule breaker, chance taker, and troublemaker. Acclaimed picture book author Laurie Wallmark (Ada Byron Lovelace and the Thinking Machine) once again tells the riveting story of a trailblazing woman. Grace Hopper coined the term â€œcomputer bugâ€ and taught computers to â€œspeak English.â€ Throughout her life, Hopper succeeded in doing what no one had ever done before. Delighting in difficult ideas and in defying expectations, the insatiably curious Hopper truly was â€œAmazing Graceâ€ . . . and a role model for science- and math-minded girls and boys. With a wealth of witty quotes, and richly detailed illustrations, this book brings Hopper's incredible accomplishments to life.
