Meet the girl who counted a path to the stars. Katherine Johnson loved numbers from the start-steps on the porch, stars in the sky, and every puzzle in between.
That fearless curiosity carried her from a small-town classroom to NASA, where her careful calculations helped astronauts fly safely to space and home again.
Katherine Johnson: The Girl Who Counted a Path to Space is a short, inspiring biography for ages 3-8.
In five lively chapters, readers follow Katherine from counting games and early college to bustling research rooms and historic missions.
Along the way, clear, kid-friendly explanations turn big ideas-like orbits and trajectories-into "aha!" moments young explorers can understand and remember.
What kids will find inside:
Perfect for home, classroom, library, or travel reading, this book invites children to ask brave questions, check their work, and aim high. If your reader loves space, science, and true stories about trailblazing women, Katherine's journey will show them how curiosity, kindness, and careful thinking can take you sky-high.
