I love this little book series and look forward to each new volume. This is a good one. And a set would make a lovely gift for a child.

Cute little story that makes reading biographies to littles fun. I would recommend it for those looking to expand their non-fiction section for toddlers and young children.

This is an excellent series. The people written about in the series aren't your run of the mill children's biography subjects. But they are all intriguing people and make for interesting reading. The illustrations are going to appeal to the kids as well. These books are a good way to broaden their horizons.

There are two versions of this book - a board book for babies and toddlers and the regular version. I read both and they are great.

(General series review) These are fabulous stories about great women and men in history (for the most part). The illustrations are so amazing, both for kids and adults. There is a brief history on the person that explains how this person contributed to history and matters

I love these illustrations. A simple introduction to the impact of Ada Lovelace for young children. For parents and older children, there is a helpful timeline at the back of the book. I'd love to see the other books in this series.

Ada Lovelace, written by Isabel Sanchez Vegara and illustrated by Zafouko Yamamoto, is part of the Little People, Big Dreams series. Meet Ada Lovelace, the British mathematician and daughter of poet Lord Byron. From her early love of logic, to her plans for the world's first computer program, learn about Ada's life in this mini biography for readers as young as four years. This inspiring story of her life features a facts and photos section at the back..

Ada Lovelace is a biography for young readers, that is well done and charmingly illustrated. I found the combination of facts and cute to be inspiring and informative for readers of all ages that want a quick lesson on the woman behind the technology that changed our world. I like that the book encourages children to combine the things they love with the things they need and learn about. That just might be the encouragement the next game changer needs to follow their dreams and create something that will change the way we think and work all over again. I liked the time line and additional information that is included at the end of the book intended for older readers and those that might be sharing this book with younger readers. I think I am going to need to explore this series a little more, both for myself and the school library.

Great little children's book. I knew next to nothing about Ada Lovelace and this was an easy way for (me) kids to learn about a woman of history.

One of the most dynamic new series celebrating the accomplishments and lives of remarkable women. Ada Lovelace is a welcome addition to this already significant collection.

What a lovely book - in fact this whole series is such a good idea. The premise is to recount the life of women like Ada Lovelace who follow their dreams and make a difference in the world.
This series was nominated on our website among favourite non-fiction books for primary schools (https://www.booksfortopics.com/non-fiction).

The series of books "Small People, Big Dreams" presents mini biographies of personalities who have marked the history of mankind.
The book that presents the important contribution of Ada Lovelace has very nice and colorful illustrations.
I think it is hard to choose the main information when you have to write a short biography, but the author did it successfully. It is a helpful resource for kids if they want to know who was the first computer programmer and it offers a good start point for them.

A very simple book explaining who Ada Lovelace was. A great biography for younger kids who aren’t ready for longer books yet.

I enjoyed this book so much so that I am now going to read all of the other books in this series. It is a great way to introduce strong, powerful women to students.
This book introduces readers to Ada Lovelace, the brilliant British mathematician and daughter of Lord Byron. This book highlights Ada's love of logic and science. This story of Ada's life features facts and photos at the end of the book.
I liked how this book showed that Ada Lovelace had a lot in common with her father. They were both dreamers and romantics. It was her mother who made her focus on math and logic, which help her in her STEM creations.
This book would pair well with other STEM books such as Ada Twist, scientist.

Having read other books from this series, I was excited to read Ada Lovelace's story. I highly recommend all the books in the series as they are written in a child friendly way which children of all Primary ages can understand the illustrations are beautiful. I also like the face that there is a short biography at the back with more detail which I think older children and adults will appreciate.

Another great book from the Little People, Big Dream series!

“Ada Lovelace” is a great role model for girls, especially with the emphasis today on STEM topics. I wasn’t a fan of the illustration style myself, but I enjoyed the illustrator’s creative additions to each page.

This book, which is an account of Ada Lovelace's life for young readers, is my first introduction to the Little People, Big Dreams series.

This series of books tell short stories about artists, designers and scientists who achieved extraordinary things and each began with a childhood dream.

I love that a biographical lesson in history is teamed with wonderfully drawn illustrations to catch the attention of a child.

A wonderful book about the first computer programmer, Ada Lovelace. I thought that this book was so cute and so well done. It is perfect for kids! I love the way it shows how regular little girls can do spectacular things! I would have liked more details about Ada but for kids, it is perfect. It is a great starting point and I just hope it inspires girls to dream big! I absolutely loved the illustrations. They were so adorable and they really added to the story. Plus I loved the cat!

This book and this series are so amazing. I would definitely recommend this to others. I want to read more in the series!

This is a short, sweet, and simple picture book biography about Ada Lovelace, The simple text makes it a perfect beginner biography and the illustrations are adorable. There is a two page biography at the end that goes into more detail about her life and includes pictures of her at various ages. There is also a list of recommended titles for further reading. The Little People, Big Stories series is an adorable collection of biographies about notable women from history and Ada Lovelace is an excellent ddition to it.

Lovelace is a figure I wish that I knew more about. Seriously, friends, this lady is the mother of Binary code! She's basically the reason we have computers. And yet when we teach Women's history we teach Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and Clara Barton. That's about it. Kids need more female STEM heroes, which is where books like this one come into play. This is a very basic book. We are given only the simplest information. Vegara doesn't even use the term binary. Use this book to introduce the topic, to pique a child's interest.

This book is the newest edition of the "Little People, Big Dreams" series. It is a mini-biography which introduces the reader to a wonderful woman, Ada Lovelace, who is way ahead of her time. She was born in England having Lord Byron, a very famous poet, as her father in 1819. Her mother, who loves maths, steers her ambitions towards the maths and away from the arts. Strangely enough little Ada inherits both of her parent's ingenious traits. Because of the absence of both parents in her life she spends a lot of time at her grandparent's house. Often on her own she lets her imagination soar. It is saturated with all kinds of creative mental imagery that she happily conjures up.

Ada, at the age of fourteen, becomes quite ill and is bed-ridden for three long years. Although her body is frail and sickly her mind flourishes as she studies, invents and dreams.

After a while Ada travels to London where she encounters a very famous mathematician named Charles Babbage. Together they mesh their intellect and create something totally magically for the times... the calculator. Ada uses her creative mind and pushes the envelope farther to embellish what it can do. The original calculator is only capable of doing sums quickly and Ada knows that she can make it do even more amazing things. She actually writes a code made up of numbers, that will tell the calculator what to do. It is the first computer language known and some of it is still in use to this very today.

"She showed that when you use science and imagination, your dreams can take flight."

The illustrations enhance and enrich the narrative and the educational facts that the author includes at the end of the book are truly fascinating to read.

This series is a wonderful role model for young girls as they read about empowered, normal women who make huge contributions and change the world in a positive way. The stories are simply told and the series is a best-seller. The books truly are a celebration of women hood and are now available in board book format for young readers to enjoy.

You never know who you are raising in your home or who you are teaching in your classroom. You just might be nurturing someone who will impact the world in a very dynamic way! I highly, highly recommend this book and the entire series.

What other rating could I really give a book in this series? They’re beautiful books that are filled with the life stories of inspirational people, and Ada Lovelace is no different!

Packed full of lovely illustrations, Ada Lovelace tells the story of the little girl who would go on to become the world’s first computer programmer and created the code that we use in computing today. The book is just detailed enough to give an overview of her life and why she’s such an important historical figure without being too much for younger readers to digest. I do like, however, that there’s a more detailed text at the back and a selection of books for further reading.

This is definitely a title to add to your collection!
