Do you want to get young children into coding?

The founder of computingtextbook.co.uk has written a storybook for young children to introduce them to programming in Scratch. 'Willow Finds an Egg' is a gentle introduction to programming through storytelling. Children aged 3 and up can join Willow as she codes her way through a labyrinth with the help of her new friend Hopper the robot. After reading the book they can code along with Willow using the online tutorial videos.

Willow Finds an Egg - A Willow Codes Adventure. A book by Rebecca Franks and Illustrated by Renata Smagulova.
