Description

“If you’ve got a good suggestion, and you are aware of it’s going to work, go ahead and do it.”
The inspiring story of Grace Hopper—the boundary-breaking woman who revolutionized computer science—is told told in an engaging picture book biography.
 
Who used to be Grace Hopper? A software tester, office jester, cherished mentor, ace inventor, avid reader, naval leader—AND rule breaker, chance taker, and troublemaker. Acclaimed picture book writer Laurie Wallmark (Ada Byron Lovelace and the Thinking Machine) once again tells the riveting story of a trailblazing woman. Grace Hopper coined the term “computer bug” and taught computers to “speak English.” All the way through her life, Hopper succeeded in doing what nobody had ever done before. Delighting in difficult ideas and in defying expectations, the insatiably curious Hopper actually used to be “Amazing Grace” . . . and a role model for science- and math-minded boys and girls. With a wealth of witty quotes, and richly detailed illustrations, this book brings Hopper’s implausible accomplishments to life.
