Neil couldn't have walked on the moon without Josephine, Dee, and Katherine. An inspiring introduction to the hidden figures of NASA's Team Apollo!

Mechanical engineer Suzanne Slade highlights 12 female pioneers of STEM in this encouraging nonfiction picture book, perfect for 6-to-9-year-old aspiring engineers and astronauts!

This is the story of our daring quest to visit the moon, featuring twelve talented women who helped get us there. These women performed a variety of daunting jobs to accomplish the first moon landing. Some of their impressive accomplishments include:

  • How Phyllis Gaylard helped design the descent engine that allowed for a gentle landing on the lunar surface.
  • Hazel Fellows' creation of the spacesuits that shielded the astronauts on the moon.
  • And Katherine Johnson's verification of the flight calculations that let them return home safely.
