Am I Yours? by Alix Latimer



Am I Yours?



'Am I yours?' is a fun story. I read it with 6,7 and 3 yr olds. They all enjoyed it. The dinosaurs are all so colorful. I learned about few new types of dinosaurs. Its funny that every dinosaur talks to an egg. All the kids liked the part where the egg hatches and the whole family is together. Smooth illustrations. It was interesting to see a bit of the last dinosaur in each page. it made me peek back to see if there was a foreshadow of the coming dinsosaur. Kind of like the 'what do you see?'.
Nice twist on the 'are you my mother' and hints of 'what do you see'. There are little critters all over the place, which the kids had fun pointing out. 

Choo Choo train



In the middle of the night, my little one worried that one of her train was missing from Thomas Engine. As they get ready to pass on the toys to their cousin, it is strange how I am tied to some of the toys, souvenirs from trips to Grand Canyon, Houston NASA.

This powered train should have made it to the market a while ago.


Whats the buzz at the wind vane?



Weathervane is a whimsical word.

"Up there in the wind, where the wind is not   
Turning the vane of the weathercock,   
The weathercock silently crows in the wind. " -   Wind Vane party

Quantum computing for babies



Quantum Computing for Babies (Baby University)


I did not realise that qubits cannot be copied. The black box part is a bit hard to digest. Earlier I was reading that the models in AI are like a black box too.

My kid read the book and asked me at the end "Mama, do we have a quantum computer?" Isnt that great that she wants to know if the computer we have has qubits?
Google has a the largest quantum computer yet of 72 qubits.
