“Hands-On Programming Encyclopedia” Now on Sale!

I translated and provided supervision for *The Hands-On Programming Picture Book*.
It’s an interactive picture book that even young children can enjoy. It goes on sale today.
I first came across the original version of this book two years ago. It was displayed in a stack at a bookstore in the Singapore airport.
I was surprised to see a programming picture book being sold at the airport, so I bought it right away.
Later, at the Stanford Co-op, I discovered it prominently displayed at the Exploratorium and several other U.S. science museums.
Coincidentally, shortly after that, I received a request to translate and provide Supervision for the book, which I gladly accepted.
I hear it’s been released in 10 countries around the world.
It’s such a charming picture book, so please be sure to pick up a copy.
