This inspiring book follows the life of four African-American women and their incredible contributions to science. Their hard work has only recently become wider-known because it was once hidden due to their sexes and race. These women persisted through segregation and sexism to ultimately send a man to the moon. The illustrations in this book beautifully depict these powerful women of color.

Jaycee, I loved that you used this book because it is a lesser known story! I am really curious about how you would incorporate this into your classroom?
