Computer science for kids, from A to Z.
ABC Code is a children's book series by tech educator Shadeira Nesmith that turns computer science into an adventure young readers can actually follow. One letter at a time, kids meet the ideas behind the technology they use every day and start to see themselves as future builders.
Written for curious kids and the adults who read with them, the series makes coding concepts clear, playful and empowering.
What kids learn
The ABCs of tech
Each letter of the alphabet introduces a real computer science concept from apps to binary in language young readers actually understand.
Problem-solving skills
Kids learn to think like builders: breaking big problems into small steps, spotting patterns and trying again when something doesn't work.
Curiosity first
The series meets kids where they are, turning the technology around them into something they can question, explore and eventually create.
Confidence to build
By the last page, readers see themselves as people who belong in tech because computer science for kids should feel like an invitation, not a gate.
