Based on the New York Times bestselling book and the Academy
Award-nominated movie, author Margot Lee Shetterly and Coretta
Scott King Illustrator Honor Award winner Laura Freeman bring the
incredibly inspiring true story of four black women who helped NASA
launch men into space to picture book readers! Dorothy Vaughan,
Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, and Christine Darden were good at
math...really good. They participated in some of NASA's greatest
successes, like providing the calculations for America's first
journeys into space. And they did so during a time when being black
and a woman limited what they could do. But they worked hard. They
persisted. And they used their genius minds to change the world. In
this beautifully illustrated picture book edition, we explore the
story of four female African American mathematicians at NASA, known
as "colored computers," and how they overcame gender and racial
barriers to succeed in a highly challenging STEM-based career.
"Finally, the extraordinary lives of four African American women
who helped NASA put the first men in space is available for picture
book readers," proclaims Brightly in their article "18 Must-Read
Picture Books of 2018." "Will inspire girls and boys alike to love
math, believe in themselves, and reach for the stars."
