A Guessing Jar celebrating Women's History Month. Guess how many stars we have in the jar! The closest 3 guesses win a prize.
In celebration of Women's History Month, the Guessing Jar is full of stars in honor of the book Counting the Stars: The Story of Katherine Johnson, NASA Mathematician. From award-winning author Lesa Cline-Ransome and acclaimed illustrator Raúl Colón comes the sensitive, informative, and inspiring picture book biography of the remarkable mathematician Katherine Johnson, one of the NASA “human computers” whose work was critical to the first US space launch.
President Barack Obama awarded Katherine Johnson the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015 and her incredible life inspired the Oscar-nominated film Hidden Figures. Get to know this incredible and inspirational woman with this beautifully illustrated picture book from an award-winning duo.
Come join us at the library to learn more about Katherine Johnson and other women in history by completing the Scavenger Hunt or checking out a book from our Women's History booklist.
