Aprille Ericsson, who was a first grader in 1969, was inspired by Apollo 11’s journey to the moon: “She wondered if maybe she could help out on future space missions.” Now, she’s an award-winning NASA scientist who also works to show girls and people of color “the excitement of working in math and science.” This engaging biography, which covers up to the present day, provides a glimpse into Ericsson’s childhood, education, and career. “Tech Talk” boxes highlight quotes from Ericsson discussing her work and education, including her pride at being the first African American woman to receive a PhD in her field from Howard University: “I try to represent well for all others that come behind me.” Captioned photographs add interest, depicting Ericsson, her aerospace projects, and places she studied and worked. Back matter contains a time line, source notes, glossary, recommended books and Web sites, and an index.
