Hidden Figures Young Readers' Edition: Young Readers' Edition of Hidden Figures―Celebrating African American Women Pioneers at NASA

This is a wonderful book for young readers. The stories are inspiring, easy to understand, and teach important lessons about perseverance, courage, and achievement. The illustrations are beautiful, and the book keeps children engaged while helping them learn about remarkable women in history. I highly recommend it!

Good, quality book. Bought for son’s school reading. Worked well and worth money!

This goes well with the movie, but it is not the movie. You actually get a lot information about the characters before the main part of the movie starts. I liked that my students get a lot background on how the ladies fulfill their dreams.

3.5 stars "That's one small step for a man . . . . . one giant step for mankind." - Neil Armstrong Some of the most famous words of the last century were spoken from the moon. But who knew how much work went into the meticulous mathematical calculations that placed our American astronauts onto the cover of modern history. Some of these hard working professionals were not only trend setters in their field, but they were also young African American women, who had determined their way into the National Aeronautics and Space Administration position by position, having to over-prove their brilliance every step of the way. Dorothy Vaughn, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, and Christine Darden should be unforgettable. While quite interesting, this book did not seem written for "young readers", for the information is quite technical at times and more suited for a textbook than informal reading. However, it's a story that needed to be told and I applaud the author for telling it.

I read this book before giving it to my niece. Ive also read the adult version. I would say the young readers version is edited for subject matter. And writen in a way to make complex issues understandable to a young reader. In parts, important subjects are deleted from the book. But if you have watched the movie, which is great, this version of the book more closely follows the movie. If you have a youngster that is interested in science, this is a great book to give. Its not a book to explain racial injustice or sexism in our society, so younger readers might not understand why the women were treated in a certain way in the book. As those part are fewer than the regular book. Otherwise it is a good book for budding scientists.

This is an excelent product.

Excellent book. Bought it as a brain stimulator for my daughter's 9th birthday.

This is a great book. It truly inspired my daughter. Women who are this strong and do math are heroes.
