"If you've got a good idea, and you know it's going to work, go ahead and do it." The picture book biography of Grace Hopper--the boundary-breaking woman who revolutionized computer science. Who was Grace Hopper? A software tester, workplace jester, cherished mentor, ace inventor, avid reader, naval leader--AND rule breaker, chance taker, and troublemaker. Grace Hopper coined the term "computer bug" and taught computers to "speak English," and throughout her life succeeded in doing what no one had ever done before. Delighting in difficult ideas and in defying expectations, the insatiably curious Hopper truly is "Amazing Grace" . . . and a role model for science- and math-minded girls and boys.
