To The Moon

By Terysa Ridgeway

Illustrated By Maria Gabriela Gama

Genre:-Children's Picture Book

Pages:-26

Blurb:-Eight-year-old problem-solver Terysa is determined to win the school science fair.

There is only one snog: she has so many ideas, she doesn't know which one to choose.

 Terysa loves astronomy, so she wants her project to be space-related. But what exactly should she present? Luckily, her sister Shana is an astronomy wiz and is on hand to help, Shana inspires Terysa with the tale of mathematician Dorothy Vaughan, N.A.S.A's first Black supervisor and a computer programming pioneer.

 Together, the sisters puzzle out the Python code that will get Terysa's science project moving all on it's own, and will soon have a project that is out of this world. But will it be enough to win the top science fair prize?

My Review:- I love the cover of this book, it's big and bold and would appeal to children. The illustrations through this book are colourful and have plenty to talk about, especially with younger children. The author tells the story of Terysa a 8-year-old girl that loves all things Space and wants to do somethings special for the school science fair. After talking to her older sister Shana and hearing about Dorothy Vaughan and her being a computer programming pioneer, she decides to use coding. I like how the author shows that if it doesn't work the first time, you shouldn't give up. This book explains that using computer coding can help in so many ways, not just in gaming.
