I know I write this every single time I review a Little People, Big Dreams book, but Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara you, once again, knocked this out of the park with your book about Alan Turing, the father of computer science. The only things that can make this story better are the gorgeous patterns, color combinations, and sweet illustrations by Linzie Hunter.
Turing was a computer genius, before computer geniuses were really even a thing. He saved so many people and helped bring the war to an end by cracking Nazi secret codes. And he was a gay man in a time when it wasn't "okay" to be a gay man.
I am bowled over with the emotional depth of this book. I love that Vegara never shies away from the true lives of these amazing people that she writes about. The children who read them are, and will be, better humans for it.
