COMPUTER CALLED KATHERINE (HB)

For young readers, this picture book tells the inspiring story of NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson who was the subject of the hit movie Hidden Figures. It shows how she grew up during a time when women were not encouraged to excel in the fields of maths and science, and when African-Americans were heavily discriminated against, but went on to become one of NASA's "computers who wore skirts," - women who did calculations that helped the engineers design flight plans and rockets.
