This delightful children's picture book by Lauren K. Brady takes readers on an adventure unlike any other, where readers learn fascinating facts about AI and computer science, beginning with each letter of the alphabet…

…Equipping children with basic knowledge of AI and computer science goes a long way in making them interested in these vital fields. It ensures they have the necessary skillset for the future. As such, picture books like Decode AI have become a must-have in homes with children, schools, and even public libraries.

… The most notable aspect of the book for me was the fact that you don't need to be a programmer or computer engineer to understand these concepts. … Highly recommended!
