Overview

Euphemia's Amazing Numbers tells the inspiring true story of Euphemia Lofton Haynes, the first African American woman to earn a PhD in Mathematics, a pioneering educator, and a passionate advocate for equal access to learning. From an early age, Euphemia loved numbers. In school, she was told that ""girls don't do hard math,"" but she kept going anyway, solving problems on the blackboard and proving that curiosity and determination are stronger than stereotypes. She worked hard every day, studied advanced mathematics, and graduated from M Street School in 1907, one of the first high schools for Black students in the United States. Euphemia later became a mathematics teacher, helping generations of children believe in their own potential. She dedicated her life to improving education, championing the idea that math is for everyone, and that every child deserves opportunity, support, and belief in their abilities. This beautifully illustrated children's book celebrates resilience, inclusion, and the joy of learning. It encourages young readers to embrace curiosity, follow their passions, and see math not as a barrier, but as a tool for empowerment and change. A perfect read for families, classrooms, and anyone who wants to raise confident thinkers who know that their brains and dreams matter. Equal education, endless curiosity, and a love for numbers. That's where it all begins.
