Margot Lee Shetterly
(Juvenile Nonfiction – J 920 She)


Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, and Christine Darden were good at math. Really good. These four black women worked at NASA and made space travel possible with their calculations, however, their contributions were ignored for a long time. This picture book version of the bestselling book is also available as a Young Readers Edition. Recommended for ages 5–8.
