I'm translating nursery rhymes and fairy tales into Python programs

My background is in electrical engineering with a focus on embedded systems.

Nursery rhymes and fairy tales have been translated into over a hundred languages, but never a computer programming language…until now. My upcoming book Learn Python through Nursery Rhymes and Fairy Tales is currently on Kickstarter:

The classic tales have been codified and broken down logically into Python code! Here's a sample code page from Goldilocks and the Three Bears: bold Goldilocks code page.jpg

Every code page has an accompanying illustration, just like a traditional storybook:

Goldilocks drawing with shadow.jpg Each nursery rhyme/fairy tale program demonstrates one or more new Python concepts. The programs output the nursery rhymes/fairy tales with print functions.

I'm so excited to bring these classic stories into a new realm as learning tools for beginners learning to code.
