Taking the life of Turing and not shirking away from what happened to him, of how he was treated, although remaining a little soft on his actual death, this one is good, but less on his actual life than on treating all people well and not persecuting someone for how they live their life and what they believe in.
Surely decent aims to live by.

An important story to be told. The Little People, Big Dreams series is a great way to teach kids and adults about important people and what they have achieved in their lives

The artwork is beautiful and it tells an incredibly important story.
More than that? It is a children’s book that openly discusses gay people and their ill treatment in recent history. Acknowledging that is so important in fostering empathy in young people for LGBTQ people.
Read this book to your kids, and as many like it that you can find, and watch them sprout into very understanding people.

The most recent installment of the Little People Big Dreams series, Alan Turing is a simple biography, perfect for young readers. Introverts everywhere will find a relatable figure in Turing, and illustrations will engage emerging readers. A timeline, photos, and extra details at the back make for good conversation points for caregivers or librarians to share with children.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance electronic copy in exchange for my honest review.

Although I liked this book about Alan Turing, especially as it mentioned vaguely what happened to him after the war, I felt it was perhaps a bit too brief. I liked the illustrations though.

I love the picture books that Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara does. They are perfect for little children.
This one is a picture book that introduces the little readers to the incredible life of the igenius code cracker and father of the theoretical computer science and A. I. , Alan Turing.
It is written in simple sentences, which are perfect for the little ones and it offers them inspiring messages.
I love how quirky the illustrations are.
