Margaret and the Moon

pick

An approachable, easy to read story about Margaret Hamilton and the computer code she wrote for the moon missions. Cute illustrations that actually do capture the real Hamilton in a cartoony kind of way, and an inspirational story about curiosity and hard work.

Another great picture book biography my 6yo and I loved was this one about NASA computer programmer Margaret Hamilton. Also, Lucy Knisley illustrated it!

A two-fer this Monday morning. A children's picture book about a girl named Margaret who loved numbers and science who grew into a woman who wrote code and helped NASA with the space program. Illustrated by one of my favorite's, Lucy Knisley.

rubyslippersreads Although when I hear the name Margaret Hamilton, I can't help but think of the Wicked Witch of the West. 😄 8y

I found this by googling Lucy Knisley's current projects. I love her artwork and books. This book came up, and in light of HIDDEN FIGURES, it's a timely read about the woman who invented the term "software engineer." Fascinating woman! #kidlit #picturebook

BellaBookNook Oh my goodness I love the style illustrations. I'm going to see if I can hunt down a copy at my library! 8y

Mc_cart_ny Ok, I thought this was going to be Star Wars related, because the word bubble in the picture looks like the Death Star. "That's no moon...." 8y

EvieBee @BellaBookNook I hope they have a copy. Lucy Knisley has such a great style of drawing! 8y

EvieBee @Mc_cart_ny Hahahaha! 8y
