Mama Bernice and the Coding of the Quilt is a beautifully illustrated children's book that tells the story of a young girl who learns about her family's history and the importance of technology. Through the intricate patterns of a quilt, Mama Bernice teaches her granddaughter about the struggles and triumphs of African Americans throughout history.

The book begins with Mama Bernice telling her granddaughter, Aaliyah, about the history of quilting in the African American community. She explains that quilts were originally used as a way to keep warm, but over time they became a form of artistic expression and a way to tell stories.

As Mama Bernice continues to tell her story, Aaliyah begins to notice patterns in the quilt. She realizes that the different colors and shapes represent different events in African American history. For example, the red squares represent the blood that was shed during the slave trade, while the green squares represent the hope and freedom that came with the Emancipation Proclamation.

As Aaliyah learns more about her family's history, she also begins to understand the importance of technology. She realizes that technology can be used to tell stories, preserve history, and connect people from all over the world.

The book ends with Aaliyah and Mama Bernice working together to create a new quilt block that represents their own family's story. This block is a symbol of their love and connection, and it also represents the importance of passing down history from generation to generation.

Mama Bernice and the Coding of the Quilt is a beautifully written and illustrated book that teaches children about African American history, technology, and the importance of family. It is a must-read for any child who is interested in learning about these important topics.
