Hidden Figures: The True Story of Four Black Women and the Space Race

FROM SARAH:

This picture book introduces young readers to the real‑life “human computers” whose calculations powered rockets, guided astronauts, and changed what was possible. A fantastic read!

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

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.
