Coding is the fundamental building block of computer programs, the instructions that power everything from the world wide web to your car. Its importance has been recognised by governments around the world and it has been added to school curriculums internationally. This book helps you teach the concepts behind coding to children who are at a pre-school age, and have fun while doing it.

Like learning an additional language, learning the foundations of digital skills can bring many benefits to children (and parents, teachers, and caregivers!), such as improved communication skills, greater confidence, and one of the most important skills of all: how to learn from failure.
