The inspiring true story of mathematician Katherine Johnson--made famous by the award-winning film Hidden Figures--who counted and computed her way to NASA and helped put a man on the moonKatherine knew it was wrong that African Americans didn't have the same rights as others--as wrong as 5+5=12. She knew it was wrong that people thought women could only be teachers or nurses--as wrong as 10-5=3. And she proved everyone wrong by zooming ahead of her classmates, starting college at fifteen, and eventually joining NASA, where her calculations helped pioneer America's first manned flight into space, its first manned orbit of Earth, and the world's first trip to the moon
Award-winning author Suzanne Slade and debut artist Veronica Miller Jamison tell the story of a NASA "computer" in this smartly written, charmingly illustrated biography.

Nice Sturdy Decorative Piece

She is a bit bigger than I expected but makes a great hand towel holder in my bathroom.

Love this Greek Goddess Statue!
Size: Gallery
Very pleased with this piece! In my opinion it is reasonably priced and worth every penny! Arrived on time and securely packaged. Placed Venus of Arles in a niche in the entryway of our home, she fits perfectly with our decor and definitely makes a statement! So glad that we made this purchase.

Poor quality and does not match photos
Size: Gallery, Size: Gallery
Exceedingly poor quality and does not match the photos depicted the finish is very poor and shows paint bubbles and zero attention to detail. The casting is also subpar compared to others that are available many parts of the resin blended together and were a terrible looking in comparison to the images provided.

Decent quality, but not as described.
Size: Grande
Well when it eventually arrived (promised twice but only shipped on the third promise date). The quality was not as expected. It looks like molded plastic, not the "resin and crushed stone" in the description. I have two lions made by the same supplier and they ARE made of resin and crushed stone, and look like real stone. This statue looks like smooth molded plastic and does not look like $325 yard statue! On the whole we decided to keep it, and it adds a nice enough feature in the yard, but would not order from this manufacturer again. One other thing to note is that in the sales description and replies to questions it states it is suitable for outdoors. However they include a leaflet in the box once you have received it that states its not for outdoors year round... t heir way of creating a get out clause shod you have issues by using it outdoors...so inconsistent advice before and after you buy it!!!

Nice Piece of Art for Decoration
Size: Gallery
This statue looks great in the living room. The sunlight really makes it pop.
It is heavy enough that our cat did not knock it over when rubbing on it. Since it only seems to take interest in expensive looking things, I took it as a compliment. And it is true, this piece looks fantastic. The only give away is that when you touch it, it doesn't "feel" expensive. But people (or animals) shouldn't be touching it anyway, so that isn't a problem for me!
