Hi,

I want to introduce you a great book named “Creative Coding for Kids”.  
The book is based for teaching beginners coding via creative coding using Processing API.

Tariq Rashid, the author of the book, put a lot of thought into the nice examples included in the book. He was also very nice to share a FREE edition of the book with [codeguppy.com](http://codeguppy.com) users.

You can download the free PDF from here:

I hope you like it!

Hello!

I started to scan through the modules on your site and they look quite interesting! Will go back and look some more when I have time.  
Kind of like a codeacademy for kids! Love this idea!  
😀

Thanks so much, @codeguppy. Wonderful to see the site – and thank you for sharing the book!

I believe that Tariq Rashid was also one of the co-organizers of [PCD@London 2018](https://discourse.processing.org/t/pcd-worldwide/1885/19). Dan Shiffman also used “Make Your Own Neural Networks” as the basis for a [Neural Networks Coding Train Video](https://youtu.be/XJ7HLz9VYz0).
