The Girl Who Could Rock the Moon inspires girls and boys of all ages to create an exciting new world through the exploration of STEM: science, technology, engineering and math. Mary G. Ross was a gifted mathematician and became the first female Native American engineer in the United States at a time when women in STEM were rare. She was brave, she was bold and she helped take us to the moon. Her equations solved in-flight problems for rockets and jets, and she wrote a traveler's manual to the planets. Much of her work remains classified to this day, but her inspiring story does not. Does your little one like technology? Do they like to ask questions? Encourage them to see math as a game they'll want to play with this bright, entertaining read. The Girls Who Could is a fun, colorful series of stories about real women who have made a difference in the world through inspired action. By giving young girls and boys examples of women who are doing amazing things, children grow up with a template of achievement upon which to grow and expand their own dreams and goals. Simple drawings of children their own age and fun, rhyming prose helps kids connect easily with the message in each story.
