Another Great Book in an Excellent Series
Julia Mosca writes in such honest (but rhyming and fun!) ways about women who worked hard, faced difficulties, and succeeded in science. The girl with a mind for math has a wonderful message for young boys and girls. I share the Amazing Scientists series widely and everyone is really impressed. Great for kids who are too little for a chapter book biography.

My daughter's favorite book!
My younger daughter "earned" this book from the Tooth Fairy. My daughter loves math and intuitively "gets it." She liked this story about Raye Montague, which has allowed our conversations to segue from a known interest (math) into the topic of social justice and the history of racism and sexism in the United States.
