Discover Now: Computers
Published by MIT Kids Press
Available for preorder now on Amazon
MIT Kids Press launched this book as an exciting “how things work” leveled reader tailor-made for the next generation of innovators, scientists, and thinkers.
While MIT Kids Press published this for curious kids who are becoming confident in their reading skills, I believe it is a fun read for anyone at any age to understand how computers work.
This book was an opportunity for me to explain actual computer science concepts in a simple, and engaging way for all. MIT Kids Press reached out to me to write this book, after seeing my earlier book, Creative Coding in Python, they thought I would be able to explain computers to kids.

Creative Coding in Python
Available on Amazon and in all major libraries and bookstores
across US, UK, Australia, India and many other countries.
Why is this book unique.
Teaches programming concepts and not just the Python language.
So you can actually code on your own.
Not a recipe book where you are following steps to make one or two big projects. Explains concepts, and one project in detail so you can write your own code
Does not dumb it down, it goes further than most beginner books, explained using actual computer science vocabulary
Uses illustrations and simple metaphors to explain ideas
It is a visual treat - characters, colors, gorgeous layouts - makes it the most fun you can have reading a coding book.
Creative approach - open ended projects that can be modified by the user to make it their own.
Explained from an experienced CS teacher who has taught hundreds of students and teachers, so it is based on ideas that actually work.
Several 'Experiment and Extend' projects so you can reinforce your learning and strengthen your coding skills.
