BUYING ADVISORY: EL – ESSENTIAL, MS - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Ellie worked as a seamstress for a large commercial fabric company. When they decide to enter the contest for a suit that astronauts could use to walk on the moon, Ellie and the others rise to the challenge to create a suit that is safe, comfortable, and flexible.
What a great insight to even another part of the space program where the intuition and work of women contributor silently to its success. I wish there was more back matter to support the story. I’m still going to show this to those science teachers who talk about space and about female engineers and inventors.
