While his fellow classmates are dreaming of becoming football players, architects, and doctors, Ralph dreams of becoming a wizard and helping his family and friends. âIf I Were A Wizardâ introduces coding concepts to its readers through the enchanting imagination of a young boy. From âRepeats and Loopsâ to âAlgorithmsâ, If I was a Wizard prompts discussion and helps build conceptual understanding. Currently, there is a global push for coding in education. Coding is the new creation tool. It has the ability to create new products, bring people together and solve important problems in the world. However our little learners learn concepts in many different ways. Their ability to connect concepts to their own lives is important. This book was written to fill this void. I hope our Wizard will be a stimulus for discussion, bridge the gap between the physical and digital, and provide a springboard into the magical world of coding.
