The first programmer Daughter of the famous romantic poet Lord Byron,
Ada Lovelace was the first person who imagined that an algorithm could
give indications to a machine so that it could operate autonomously.
That is, she was the first one to think that, if humans were capable of
writing a sequence of instructions in a language that a machine could
understand, maybe the machine could perform these tasks on its own, thus
becoming a thinking device. What Ada invented is what is now considered
the first computer program in history, although there were still many
years to come before computers ever existed. Both the register of the
narrative and the style of the images are appropriate for schoolchildren
between 8 and 11 years old. The text and the images make sure to deal
with pedagogical threads that traverse the characters' scope of
activity, both for family readings at home and at school, supporting the
educational program. Additionally, throughout the narrative the reader
will find all the information necessary to appropriately situate the
figure in a socio-historical context.
