The bold story of Katherine Johnson, an African-American mathematician who worked for NASA during the space race and was depicted in the film Hidden Figures.

Youve likely heard of the historic Apollo 13 moon landing. But do you know about the mathematical genius who made sure that Apollo 13 returned safely home?

As a child, Katherine Johnson loved to count. She counted the steps on the road, the number of dishes and spoons she washed in the kitchen sink, everything! Boundless, curious, and excited by calculations, young Katherine longed to know as much as she could about math, about the universe.

From Katherines early beginnings as a gifted student to her heroic accomplishments as a prominent mathematician at NASA, Counting on Katherine is the story of a groundbreaking American woman who not only calculated the course of moon landings but, in turn, saved lives and made enormous contributions to history.

Hello! My name is AhuviYah and I am the owner of Cultivating Progress. I am also the mother of 6 beautiful children. So I understand the importance of having quality books available for our little ones. I created Cultivating Progress because I believe truthful representation should be encouraged and easily accessible to our children. I also believe regularly exposing our children to books that represent positive and truthful images of themselves are necessary for their self-esteem and overall development.

Research has shown reading to children can give them an early advantage by having a positive effect on their cognition and language development.

With your support I intend to grow and expand for all of our childrens benefit.

New books are posted weekly.
