The Data Detective: Empowering Children with Data Literacy through Adventure

Chandra Donelson, a celebrated leader in data and artificial intelligence, has joined forces with her 7-year-old son and Jordan Morrow, the "Godfather of Data Literacy," to create The Data Detective, an innovative children's book that brings the world of data to life through storytelling and hands-on learning.

In The Data Detective, young William embarks on a series of missions at a vibrant carnival to earn his first Data Detective badge. Guided by his mom and supported by real-world data lessons, William uncovers patterns, solves problems, and learns how to ask meaningful questions. The book introduces fundamental concepts of data literacy, encouraging curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving in a way that resonates with children.

"This book is personal-it's about empowering the next generation," said Chandra Donelson. "Working on this with my son and Jordan has been an incredible journey, bringing our shared passion for education and innovation to life." Jordan Morrow added, "The Data Detective is more than a book-it's a movement. It shows that data literacy can be taught early, laying the foundation for children to thrive in a data-driven future."

Since its release, The Data Detective has been hailed by educators, parents, and data professionals as a groundbreaking tool for teaching data literacy in a fun and approachable way. The authors' mission extends beyond the book itself, with Donelson and Morrow advocating for data literacy to become a core component of education globally.

The Data Detective is available for purchase globally at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, and other major retailers. For more information or to bring The Data Detective to your school or community, visit www.thedatadetective.org or contact contact@thedatadetective.org.
