Review "[N]atural companion texts for maker spaces. . . . Upbeat profiles of admirable STEM figures and fine additions to biography collections."—School Library Journal Review Quote "A celebration of innovators and the various STEM fields they pioneered and loved. Throughout the series, the authors routinely but gently emphasize how interconnected the acts of studying, inventing, and playing are (especially in Lonnie Johnson)--a quality that makes these titles natural companion texts for maker spaces. Also, the initial focus on the childhood of each subject allows students to draw their own personal connections (a young Nikola Tesla unsuccessfully tried to fly, Ellen Ochoas parents divorced when she was a teen). Bright, well-designed layouts make for an effortless reading experience, though the text can be vague at points; for instance, in Katherine Johnson, students may wonder why her town did not have a high school she could attend. Upbeat profiles of admirable STEM figures and fine additions to biography collections."--School Library Journal Feature STEM: Interdisciplinary 5KN: Narrative Nonfiction Details ISBN1512456276 Pages 32 Publisher Lerner Publishing Group Year 2017 ISBN-10 1512456276 ISBN-13 9781512456271 Format Paperback Imprint Lerner Publishing Group Country of Publication United States DEWEY 629.450092 Subtitle Astronaut Language English Publication Date 2017-08-01 AU Release Date 2017-08-01 NZ Release Date 2017-08-01 US Release Date 2017-08-01 UK Release Date 2017-08-01 Audience Age 7-11 Audience Children / Juvenile Author Heather E.
