Unlock the language of the future-through the magic of bedtime stories.
Written by a seasoned software engineer with over 18 years in the tech industry-and a mum of two curious boys-this book is based on the true story of how she introduced coding fundamentals at home through everyday routines and bedtime chats.
During the COVID lockdown, her young sons watched her work from home and began asking questions about what she did. Too young for screens or apps, she knew she had to go back to basics-teaching them the ABCs of coding the same way we teach alphabets or numbers: with real-world examples, kid-friendly language, and a little storytelling magic.
In today's digital world, coding is the new literacy-a language every child will need to speak. But instead of starting with computer screens or apps, YOU START HERE - With everyday analogies, and core concepts broken down in a way that feels familiar, relatable, and fun.
In this book, we explore the CODING BUILD BLOCK - ALGORITHMS
By connecting a child's everyday actions-like brushing teeth or baking cookies-to the step-by-step nature of algorithms, this story helps them see that coding isn't scary or strange. It's something their brains already understand.
With this screen-free, emotionally warm approach, parents can confidently introduce one of the most important skills for the future-even if they have no tech background themselves.
This is the first in a series designed to break down coding fundamentals into fun, approachable stories for kids aged 4-10, so they're not overwhelmed when they encounter real coding later, but prepared, curious, and confident.
It's more than just a bedtime story.
It's your child's first step into the digital world-told with heart, logic, and a little bit of everyday magic.
