review:
'Friends Change the World: We Are NASA Scientists' by Zoë Tucker with illustrations by Amanda Quartey is a picture book about two of the scientists who helped get astronauts in to space.
Mary Jackson was really good at math. So good that she got a job at NASA, but she worked there during segregation. She met a scientist named Kaz Czarnecki and they became friends and helped each other at work. Their friendship lasted for decades because of mutual respect that crossed any racial barriers.
I loved this story which tackles a difficult topic, but shows how friends can help each other out. The illustrations are just fantastic, too!
I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Wide Eyed Editions, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook. The illustrations by Lo Harris are warm colors and
