Both of my girls are big into science and math, so I was excited when I learned about the new "The Amazing Scientists" series from The Innovation Press.  We have recently read their first two releases -- The Girl Who Thought in Pictures: The Story of Dr. Temple Grandin and The Doctor With an Eye for Eyes: The Story of Dr. Patricia Bath, and were excited when we received the third installment THE GIRL WITH A MIND FOR MATH , which is on sale Sept. 3rd, and is all about Raye Montague.  What I love so much about these books is that it introduces children to famous people in history that they may otherwise not read about in textbooks or books they are reading.  These are the truly unsung heroes that have paved the wave for others in a given field.  What is so great about this series is that it is introducing children to women pioneers in different scientific fields.  My girls had no idea who Dr. Temple Grandin, Dr. Patricia Bath or Raye Montague were before reading these books.  But, after reading the three books in the "The Amazing Scientists" series, they now know and appreciate how their contributions have paved the way for girls like them to pursue their dream no matter how crazy they may be sound, and prove to others that there is a place in the workplace and history for women...and, that women have been making a difference all these years...it is just now that their amazing stories are being told for all to hear.

We really enjoyed this new book in the series, and like the previous two books read, the illustrations really help to bring this story to life and keep kids engaged as you read all this famous mathematician.  You don't have to be a fan of math to appreciate what Raye Montague achieved in her lifetime.  My girls got excited as they read about her impact on the US Navy.  We live in CT and have visited the USS Submarine Museum in Groton, CT and have never read anything about Raye Montague.  The girls are curious to go back and see if they can find anything about her there, or see if the staff know about her.  They will be bringing their new "The Girl With a Mind for Math: The Story of Raye Montague" with them, and will probably read it for the upteenth time on the way there, and then on the way back home.  This has become a favorite of the three books in this series, and the girls can't wait to pick up future installments and learn about other amazing women scientists who made their mark in history and are finally having their achievements and stories told.

If you love books that empower kids, girls especially to dream big, then you will want to check out this and the other two books in the "The Amazing Scientists" series from The Innovation Press.  You can learn about this upcoming Sept. 3rd, and the two previous releases here:  http://www.theinnovationpress.com/.

More about this book:

"This is the third book in the Amazing Scientists series - you might be familiar with the first two installments, The Girl Who Thought in Pictures: The Story of Dr. Temple Grandin and The Doctor With an Eye for Eyes: The Story of Dr. Patricia Bath. The books have been extremely well received, and help shed a spotlight on diverse women who have often been glossed over by the history books. 

"THE GIRL WITH A MIND FOR MATH introduces Raye Montague, a hidden mastermind who made a huge impact in the US Navy. After touring a German submarine in the early 1940s, young Raye set her sights on becoming an engineer. Little did she know sexism and racial inequality would challenge that dream every step of the way, even keeping her greatest career accomplishment a secret for decades. Through it all, the gifted mathematician persisted―finally gaining her well-deserved title in history: a pioneer who changed the course of ship design forever."

The Amazing Scientist series is so important in showing, through the stories of real women who overcame countless obstacles to excel in their fields, that a career in a STEM field is not only a possibility, but can truly become a reality for young girls."
