- Great book
- Used for wax museum project. Very informative
- DK Life Stories continues to provide information about the lives and the careers of fascinating people. Katherine Johnson is the latest in this book series written by Ebony Joy Wilkens. "DK Life Stories Katherine Johnson" includes both the social and the career challenges Katherine Johnson faced throughout her life as an African-American woman, and her career as a "human computer" for NASA. Her education and career path are familiar to those who watched "Hidden Figures," but more of Katherine Johnson's career and achievements are mentioned in this book including her roles in the missions involving Apollo 11 and Apollo 13 .
This book is for fans and readers of history, mathematics, NASA, and Black American and/or Female Trailblazers. Both children and adults alike will enjoy the framework (illustrations done by Charlotte Ager) and the information found within the pages. Fans of "Hidden Figures" will enjoy this book as much as the movie.
