Fiona Veitch Smith has published two picture books nearly two decades apart. Donovan’s Rainbow (2001) was an early work, while Charles Babbage and the Curious Computer (2020) introduces young readers to the man who designed some of the earliest mechanical computing machines.

The Charles Babbage book fits with Smith’s historical interests, bringing a lesser-known figure from Victorian England to life for children. These picture books sit alongside her children’s fiction series as the youngest-skewing part of her catalog.
