As my daughter quickly approaches her ninth birthday, I\u2019m realizing how transformative the last year has been for her\u2014 particularly as she faced an increasing entanglement with the digital landscape. She has a Chrome-book for school, an iPad for games and communication with friends, YouTube for tutorials, Alexa for music\u2026 the list goes on. I\u2019m not anti-technology, but it\u2019s nice to disengage and spend some quality time together away from screens. That\u2019s the major appeal of Gulrez Khan\u2019s book, Dra<\/em><\/a>w<\/a><\/em>ing Data with Kids<\/em><\/a>. It\u2019s a book full of stories that make data visualization accessible, low-tech, and something the whole family can do\u2014no screens required.<\/p>\n\n\n

The book centers around a ten-year-old girl named Pariza and her father, lovingly referred to as Abbu. Pariza loves playing games and has a knack for identifying patterns, which she turns into data visualizations with the help of her father. Each chapter begins with a story about Pariza to provide real-life context for the visualization, followed by a summarization of key ideas and terms, and finally a prompt to try it out for yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chapter structure does an excellent job of progressing the reader through data visualization concepts in a sequential manner, with each chapter building on the previous one. For example, the book starts with foundational chapters on data organization and graph construction before diving into more complex strategies around larger data sets and comparisons. In the final chapters, Khan introduces design considerations like color, shape, and imagery, which add interest and clarity to the visualizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its playful art style and typesetting, Drawing Data with Kids<\/a><\/em> never feels intimidating or unapproachable. Which is important because the book also encourages you to make a mess! It\u2019s fine to draw in the book, scribble on some graph paper, collage with flowers\u2014whatever it takes to get your hands involved and develop that dexterity. The book is meant to be thrown into the learning process and not delegated to the bookshelf like a precious keepsake. <\/p>\n\n\n

Gulrez Kahn has crafted a great introduction for children to learn what data visualization is all about. The engaging stories, clever chapter structures, DIY spirit, and emphasis on screen-free visualizations makes Drawing Data with Kids<\/a><\/em> a great catalyst to spend quality time with kids learning something new. I thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon of entertainment and learning it provided to me and my daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
