This nonfiction picture book is an excellent choice to share during homeschooling, in particular for children ages 4 to 6. It's a fun way to learn to read and as a supplement for activity books for children. 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." 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Vaughan, Dorothy,|d1910-2008|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 600 10 Jackson, Mary,|d1921-2005|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 600 10 Johnson, Katherine G.|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 600 10 Darden, Christine M.|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 610 10 United States.|bNational Aeronautics and Space Administration|xOfficials and employees|vJuvenile literature. 610 11 United States.|bNational Aeronautics and Space Administration|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Women mathematicians|zUnited States|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 African American women|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 African American mathematicians|vBiography|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Space race|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Electronic books. 650 1 Women mathematicians. 650 1 African American women. 650 1 African American mathematicians. 650 1 Space race. 650 1 African Americans|vBiography. 650 1 Women|vBiography. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 13326384?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ hpc_9780062881885_180.jpeg
