Editorial Reviews

This is a unique and refreshing book that starts with real children and adds academic illustrations – unlike the common process of textbooks of citing academic knowledge first and sprinkling students in as illustrations. Because Babbage really cares for these children, they spring forth as alive with unique personalities. She cares enough to help them all in some manner; some she freely admits to helping more than others. And "caring" is just another word for – of course – love.
