Books from the Little People, Big Dreams series always seem to be pretty solid, and this is the case once again with this installment on Katherine Johnson. If you've read or seen the movie on Hidden Figures, you will know about Katherine. This book is a great kid friendly bio on her life and how she went for her dreams. This would be a great book for younger kiddos and could be included in a unit on space travel. The illustrations are very cute and go along with other books from this series.

Thanks to Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Children's Books and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.

I am so happy that Little People, BIG DREAMS created a book about Katherine Johnson's life. I have enjoyed reading books and watching movies about her as an adult.
The book presents the struggles of being a black woman in STEM with just the right about of depth for children.

I really enjoyed how they had real photos and more information at the back of the book,

I would give the story 5 stars. I felt the illustrations were just ok, so I would give them 4 stars. I would definitely add this book to a home library if my children were still at home. A great series. This story was inspiring and so informative. I learned even more about Katherine Johnson, such an amazing woman who flourished under difficult circumstances. I was blessed with a free ARC, and I’m voluntarily leaving my review. Highly recommend.

This might be my new favourite book in the Little People, Big Dreams series and is definitely a book I wish I had had when I was younger. I've always loved maths and science so would have been inspired by Katherine Johnson's story. As always, I loved that the story was told in a way that was accessible and appropriate for a younger audience whilst being a great summary for an older audience. I love that at the back of the book there is a biography and further reading suggestions for older readers. The illustrations were very charming and really helped to enhance the story being told.

Overall I love this series and am very glad to see a female mathematician being included!

I absolutely adore the Little People Big Dreams series and how diverse it is. I’m so glad Katherine Johnson was introduced to the series as well as her story is so important!

The illustrations throughout the story are beautifully done and in much detail as well.

I appreciated the span of illustrations featuring her personal adversity through her achievements and recognition for how important she was to NASA.

A cute, inspiring story to inspire future little leaders to follow their dreams, this one will be a big hit.
