Math can take you to the Moon!

Mathematical Kids: Katherine Johnson and the Moon Path is a warm, kid-friendly picture book for ages 8-12 that shows how one brilliant mathematician helped plan the journey. In clear, simple steps, readers learn what a trajectory is, why you must aim where the Moon will be, how launch windows work, and why safety paths like free-return trajectories matter.

Each spread pairs inviting art with bite-sized explanations, building real understanding without overwhelming young learners.

A hands-on 'Try This' activity lets kids practice aiming ahead and timing-just like Mission Control.

Carefully researched and age-appropriate, this book highlights Katherine Johnson's trusted role at NASA while keeping the focus on the Moon math that changed history.

Perfect for classrooms, libraries, and curious kids who love space, problem-solving, and true stories of science in action.
