[TriPython] Python for kids

[PySimpleGUI at PySimpleGUI.com]

I recently saw a book titled "Python for Kids"

I've been working with some educators recently on a new Discord channel meant to hook up educators and programmer.  I've not seen too much on there yet that would be suitable for kids.

A couple of months back I tried out a cool game that teaches Python called https://codecombat.com/

I liked it because kids write what looks like real Python code in order to get stuff done.  If you try it, be sure and try to figure out the ways of typing that code completion helps with so that not so much typing is required.

I wasn't quite coding at 9 so it's difficult for me to envision what a 9 year old can or is motivated to do with coding.

Hi all!

My 9 year old has started asking about Python. Any good books or other resources aimed at younger learners that can keep things fun?
