Get to know the woman who made many of NASAs early missions possible in this fascinating, nonfiction Level 3 Ready-to-Read, part of a series of biographies about people you should meet! Meet Katherine Johnson, a brilliant mathematician who worked at NASA in the early 1950s until retiring in 1986. Katherines unparalleled calculations (done by hand) helped plan the trajectories for NASAs Mercury and Apollo missions (including the Apollo 11 moon landing). She is said to be one of the greatest American minds of all time. A special section at the back of the book includes extras on subjects like history and math, plus inspiring careers for math lovers. With the You Should Meet series, learning about historical figures has never been so much fun!

I know this is actually classified as a level 3 ER, but I am counting it as a picture book.
I love reading books about women who are successful.

Nice recap of Katherine Johnson‘s life, love of math, and the important work she accomplished at NASA. Also includes bones material like describing different engineering fields, other jobs math enthusiasts might like, and facts about outer space. #bbrc #er #nonfiction
