Many children's books related to computer science have been published in the last five years, creating opportunities to integrate these texts into the classroom.
Determine where the children's books support an inclusive computing culture by representing people with diverse intersectional identities engaging in the computer science practices from the K-12 Computer Science Framework.
We analyzed 45 picture books and graphic novels published between 2015 and 2019 targeted at K-8 students. We compiled evidence of the seven computer science practices and representation of diverse characters.
Three or four practices appear in 64% of the books. The characters that engage in computing in the books are 56% female and 38% people of color. The books offer few examples of nonfictional people of color engaged in computer science, with no representation of adult males of color.
