      I am not sure if children will get that this book is teaching the basics of computer programming or not, but I like the concept. Gabi and her friend Adi spend an afternoon in the garden learning about if/then statements. “If it doesn’t rain, then they water the plants.” "If the tomato is red, then you pick it and put it in the basket." The girls then use the concept of the game Simon Says to explain what they mean. “If the Programmer does a jumping jack, then the Computer does a cartwheel.” Caroline Karanja has created an accessible and fun way for children to learn the basics of coding. Using young girls experimenting or explaining technology is a great way to show girls that science and technology are not just for boys. Using child-friendly language and experiences, the girls discover that coding concepts are all around them. A well done book explaining an important concept in computer programming and in life. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.
