Not a book but The Coding Train on Youtube is probably one of the best introduction to programming. It's fun to watch, Daniel Shiffman is a fantastic teacher and he doesn't take himself too seriously. But what sets this course apart from any other are the coding challenges. Following the thought process of a programmer in real time, watching him making mistakes and hunting for bugs is invaluable. He uses p5js, a javascript library for graphics. The lessons are geared towards generative art but cover a broad range of topics including machine learning. https://www.youtube.com/@TheCodingTrain https://www.youtube.com/@TheCodingTrain
