I think you may be onto a good topic here, rather than asking for specific things maybe we can expand this to be about learning resources for someone new.

If you're entirely new to programming I've found that this book is pretty solid (it's not only for kids):

- Python for Kids: A Playful Introduction to Programming https://www.amazon.com/dp/1593274076/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_e5ybwb2BHG9JN

It helps you get set up and gives you a direction along with general background you may need.

If you're not, perhaps something like:

- Learn Python the Hard Way: A Very Simple Introduction to the Terrifyingly Beautiful World of Computers and Code (3rd Edition) (Zed Shaw's Hard Way Series) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0321884914/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_jxzbwb02K2E0B
