recommended by reports such as the Windrush review and the
MacPherson Report as a way of tackling racism. This series provides
a resource to fill the gap and aims to support the work that the
Black Curriculum is doing. The books will act as a resource in the
classroom, as well as promoting independent learning. The bold
illustrations from Black British illustrators, and age-appropriate

This beautiful picture book tells the story of two scientists who
worked together side by side to send humans into space. Mary
Jackson was super smart. She loved maths and science, and she loved
to learn. When Mary got a job at NASA, it was a dream come true!
But this was a time when Black people were segregated from white
people, and Mary had to fight hard for every opportunity. In 1953,
Mary started working alongside Kaz Czarnecki. They soon realised
how much they could share and teach each other. The two were from
completely different backgrounds, but it didn't matter at all -
they had so much in common. This was the beginning of a friendship
that lasted for decades. Together, they worked on amazing
experiments and achieved incredible things, like working to land
astronauts on the moon. Friends Change the World is a series of
picture books that celebrates the power of friendship. From musical
greats to sports champions, scientists and explorers to artists and
activists, these are the true stories of real friends who achieved
amazing things. Whether best friends since school or thrown
together by a chance encounter, they supported and inspired each
other to make their shared dreams come true. This charming series
shows 4- to 7-year-olds how togetherness, respect and friendship
can make the world a better place.
