520 _aKatherine Johnson was one of the best mathematicians in the history of the United States. Before her math skills helped send the first American astronauts safely into space, she was a smart and curious girl who loved to learn new things about the world around her. She studied hard in school and became one of the first Black women hired by NASA to figure out difficult math problems. This book helps kids explore how Katherine went from being a young girl growing up in West Virginia to one of the most important people in American space history.
