Stephen Hawking, written by Maria Isabel Sánchez Vegara and illustrated by Matt Hunt, is an inspiring biographical picture book for young readers as part of the acclaimed Little People, BIG DREAMS series. The book tells the extraordinary life story of Stephen Hawking, who spent his childhood looking up at the stars and asking big questions about the universe. As a young university student at Cambridge, he was diagnosed with ALS, an illness that gradually paralyzed his body. Refusing to let his physical condition stop his passion for science, Stephen continued his groundbreaking research on black holes and the origins of the cosmos, eventually communicating through a voice synthesizer and publishing A Brief History of Time. Through engaging text and whimsical illustrations, this book teaches young children about resilience, scientific discovery, and the power of the human mind to overcome any obstacle.
