Kelly Kent loves spaghetti, and computer programming! So she’s more than ready to help Chef Amato build a pasta-making machine to create the perfect bowl of spaghetti for his new restaurant. But when Chef can’t stop adding features to her coding machine, they end up with a tangle of “spaghetti code." Kelly must unravel the code and fix the machine ― with your help!

Follow Kelly and her sidekick, Gadget, as they go on a coding adventure to make the perfect bowl of spaghetti in this inclusive stem-based picture book.

Don't Be A Mosquito!

Written by Kristy Schwartz and Illustrated by David Anderson
Ricky loves adventures, playing with his dog Buster, and being part of everything—maybe a little too much sometimes. He wiggles, blurts, and zooms right into other people’s space without meaning to. At school, his big excitement can cause problems, and making friends feels tougher than he expected.
