Emmy in the Key of Code
This book hit me hard. It felt incredibly personal for a number
of reasons and I don’t want to give too much away as there’s a big plot point
that resonates with me. But I’ll give
away the easy connection. This year, in addition to my role as a school librarian,
I am also a STEM teacher and I’ve been loving straddling the line on both of
these roles in my school community. As a result I’ve been diving deeper into a
world I’d dabbled in in the past. The world of code. I’m beginning at the beginning as they say.
In kindergarten, we introduce coding using a program called Kodable, so right
along with my students, I started on level one. I plan to work through the
code.org courses following my successful completion of our kindergarten level
of Kodable. All that to say, I GET this book, the poetry of coding, the music
of coding, the beauty of it all and the endless possibility of it all. I’m not
sure Emmy in the Key of Code will speak to all readers, but boy did it speak to
me.
