Description
Margaret Hamilton loved numbers as a young girl. She knew how many miles it was to the moon and used math to solve problems in the outside world. This true story follows Margaret's journey from her early interest in maths to her groundbreaking work at NASA, where she played a crucial role in putting a man on the moon. Margaret's code helped power some of the most historic space missions, including Apollo 8, Apollo 9, Apollo 10 and Apollo 11. Without her contributions, none of these missions could have been completed. This book tells Margaret's story in a way that is both inspiring and accessible to a broad range of readers. Dean Robbins and Lucy Knisley deliver a lovely portrayal of a pioneer in her field who never stopped reaching for the stars.
