Can Yvonne Clark and her engineering spark solve the problem? In an electric tribute, Allen R. Wells artfully tells the life story of his favorite engineering professor who also happened to be one of our nation’s most influential African American engineers. DeAndra Hodge’s bright illustrations explode with energy, matching the vibrance of Yvonne as a creative child and following her rise to NASA and beyond.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46524182003870,"sku":"TLD-9780374391355","price":36.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780374391355.jpg?v=1771389580","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780374391355","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
