Description

Katherine Johnson's remarkable story is one of determination and mathematical brilliance. Born with a passion for learning, she excelled in school and was accepted to a prestigious university at a young age. Despite facing racist laws that forced her family to relocate, Katherine persevered and became one of the first Black women to attend a top university.

Her exceptional skills in mathematics led to a career at the US space agency, which later became NASA. As part of a talented team of African American women, Katherine played a crucial role in the early successes of the space programme, including the Apollo 11 mission that landed the first people on the moon.

This inspiring biography features quirky illustrations and extra facts, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of Katherine's life. Perfect for STEM and space enthusiasts, Little People, BIG DREAMS is a powerful and empowering series that explores the lives of outstanding individuals who achieved incredible things.
