Hidden Figures: The True Story of Four Black Women and the Space Race

My granddaughter loved it and so did her classmates!

This book was a great purchase. Gave my daughter and nieces an example of how important math is. And gave good role models as opposed to the pop culture icons of today.

This book is perfect for young readers especially those interested in STEM. Highly recommend getting copies (hard copies) for school libraries and programmes encouraging young readers.

Note: People that gave this one or two stars were confused-there are several versions of the original 375 page book for adults. This picture book is for young children, and there is another version for middle graders in 3-7th grade! The author is telling this story to all levels of readers, so watch what you are buying!This is a perfect picture book version of a complex and compelling story. The authors do a fine job of capturing the times in which these future pioneers grew up, facing discrimination both because of their race and their gender. We see their brilliance and their perseverance. The science is beautifully explained for younger kids. The illustrations are very relatable. Several copies of both the picture book and the middle grade books versions belong in every elementary school! First through third grade teachers should read it aloud and discuss it! I would give this 10 stars if I could!

Great book! School age kids loved it.

Written perfectly for school age kids. My granddaughters class enjoyed it.

I love the movie, and was excited for the picture book. The illustrations in this book are fantastic. Also, the use of vocab in the book is excellent, they use complex words but, always define them in a kid friendly way. This book is a strong hybrid text as it is both a biography, but it also has parts that are almost pure nonfiction with not much story. The other advantage to this book is that it does an excellent job of telling the reader about the time period this took place. Readers learn lots of facts about how NASA came to be, and what life was like for African Americans in the 1950s. This can lead to an excellent discussion regarding how the time period played a role in the lives of the characters. However, I read this aloud to my 3rd graders, and because the book is long (and not always riveting), we read it over a few days. Reading it over a few days was fine, I was just expecting more of a story with non fiction mixed in, this was the opposite. Still glad I bought the book, but, it was different than expected. I can imagine lots of ways I can use this as a mentor text when modeling strategies for reading a hybrid text like this one.

Bought this for my boyfriend’s kindergarten class for Black History and Women’s History months. It’s a bit old for kindergarten but they enjoyed it with him explaining and showing them pictures of the women real life. I teach the abridged junior version of Hidden Figures to my middle schoolers for Black History and Women’s History months

Lean la descripción primero porque yo quería la versión larga y no me di cuenta que era para niños... al final lo leí y se lo regalé a una niñita ❤️

Got this as a gift for my friend's daughter she enjoyed the book, so makes a great gift for kids.

My son absolutely love this book and great illustration.
