Reviews

Prolific STEM writer Slade spotlights Mary Sherman Morgan (1921-2004) and her role in the launch of the US's first successful satellite. Comport's lively illustrations-rendered using color pencil, traditional collage, digital collage, and digital paint-combine dramatic perspectives, facsimiles of space-race ephemera, and collaged STEM equations, enhancing Slade's spry narrative. A respectful, important tribute to an instrumental rocket scientist. -Kirkus Reviews
