The Girl with a Mind for Math: The Story of Raye Montague

40 pp. | Innovation | September, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-1943147-42-7 $17.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Daniel Rieley. This verse picture-book biography of Raye Montague (1935–2018) seems tailor-made for kids not quite ready for Hidden Figures. Montague was an African American female engineer who was doubly discriminated against along the way to designing the first ship by computer in 1971. The art is tastefully cartoony, and the rhymes have a vigor that makes up for the occasional word-contortion. Timeline. Bib.
