        Grades 1-4 Young readers receive a kid-friendly introduction to inspiring women in STEM fields with this picture-book biography series, Women in Science and Technology (6 titles). Katherine Johnson discusses Katherine's struggles while pursuing her talents in math and physics, and her important role at NASA as she calculated space flights and worked on the space shuttle. Bright, colorful illustrations depict the struggles, successes, and determination of each woman featured, with crisp, clear text and short sentences flowing easily from one page to the next, accompanied by larger, more colorful quotes from each of the women. Each book is appended with a time line, text-dependent questions, extension activities, and strategies for reading comprehension, making this series ideal for those building their reading skills.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)

        Gr 1-4-These titles introduce young readers to important women in the fields of technology and science. Each contains an overview of the early life and how her math and science interests influenced the subject's future career. All had to overcome sexim and in some cases, such as Katherine Johnson's, the added burden of racism, as they made their way through college and careers in traditionally male fields. The scope is limited, but pertinent points are presented, and the text and illustrations appropriately introduce young readers to these influential women. VERDICT These well-done introductions to important female scientists should appeal to young readers.
