BASH textbook for kids

[trent shipley]

Python is a great first language, and there is no shortage of beginning
Python books aimed at young beginners. I've never read a juvenalia
programming book, except maybe pre-Visual Basic BASIC with the line numbers
and goto-s for me, but at 14 she may be a bit old for them and you might be
OK with just a general audience "learn programming with Python" book.

Why were you interested in BASH scripting?  BASH, or any shell script is
not something I'd intentionally pick for someone's first intro to CS and
programming.  Also, shell scripting languages tend to enforce no software
architecture best practices and are full of footguns.I can see BASH being
useful if you wanted her to maximize her responsibility for administering
her own Linux personal machine ASAP.  There are beginner BASH scripting
books, but I doubt there are any targeted to kids specifically.
