Description : An inspiring picture book biography about a curious, tinkering girl who grew up to become one of the first Black female engineers for NASA--by the author of It's Pride, Baby! Most people think that superheroes fly like birds, leap tall buildings, and walk through walls, but Yvonne Clark’s superpower was fixing things. As a young Black girl, Yvonne Clark showed engineering promise--a spark!--as she tinkered, built, and made broken things new throughout her family’s house. Despite obstacles placed in front of her as an African American woman in the 1950s and 1960s, she set her sights on NASA and famously fixed Saturn V rocket boosters, among many things. As a former college student of Yvonne Clark’s, Allen R. Wells brings this inspiring story of a less visible figure in American space and engineering history to life with tremendous detail and warmth. As vibrant and compelling as it is educational, and chockfull of informative backmatter, this picture book biography is a great addition to classrooms, libraries, and any childhood shelf in need of women in STEM.
