Goodreads beskrivning
The story of
Katherine Johnson, an African-American mathematician who worked for NASA
during the space race and was depicted in the book and film Hidden Figures.
You've likely heard of the historic Apollo 13 moon landing. But do you know about the mathematical genius who made sure that Apollo 13 returned safely home?
As a child, Katherine Johnson loved to count. She counted the steps on the road, the number of dishes and spoons she washed in the kitchen sink, everything! Boundless, curious, and excited by calculations, young Katherine longed to know as much as she could about math, about the universe.
From Katherine's early beginnings as a gifted student to her heroic accomplishments as a prominent mathematician at NASA, this is the story of a groundbreaking American woman who not only calculated the course of moon landings but, in turn, saved lives and made enormous contributions to history.

Mina åsikter
Den här boken har jättefina illustrationer och behandlar en väldigt lärorik handling. Boken behandlar ämnen som rasism, sexism osv. Den här boken är baserad på sanna händelser, vilket gjorde boken lite extra intressant. I slutet av boken får man läsa om Katherine Johnsons liv, så som det utspelade sig i verkligheten. Vilket var ett intressant tillägg.
