Zerus & Ona A warm welcome to the world of computers
summary
A picture‑book series turns binary into characters Zerus & Ona and explains CPU, RAM, malware and the internet with illustrations, poems and cut‑out activities; the first book “There’s a virus” ships as a paperback on Amazon and is translated into four languages. The project pairs kids’ stories with a weekly ABC of computers newsletter that publishes free PDFs, puzzles and unplugged activities. The creator builds and runs the shop and site herself using Liquid templates, domain and email hosting, and reports readers from ages 3–13 and surprising hands‑on projects (Lego CPU homes).
