It is much more detailed and moving than other books about Hawking.
I started reading this for my eldest son who is taking a physics class. My second child also read it smoothly in one sitting, and I liked it because it is a book that instills the belief that anything is possible, even with a physical disability. My second child says he really wants to become a great person like Stephen Hawking.
My child received the book, sat down, read it three or four times, and then told me about it in an excited voice. It flows smoothly and seems like a great book that really radiates positive energy to children. If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend it!!
The Story of Stephen Hawking, the Wheelchair Genius Physicist Who Changed the World with Curiosity "I am merely a child who has not yet grown up. I constantly ask 'how' and 'why,' and sometimes I find the answers." Stephen Hawking. I really love this quote right from the first page. I look back and reflect on my past, when, even as an adult, I didn't properly know what my dreams were—a time of endless worry and curiosity when I didn't try to find out more. Yet, when I ask my child what they
Kathleen Krell et al.: Curiosity that changed the world
Selected by the American Library Association's Junior Library Guild, this is the eighth book in the "Give It Together Picture Book" series, telling the story of Stephen Hawking, the genius physicist in a wheelchair who changed the world with endless curiosity. This book portrays the life and achievements of Stephen Hawking, a genius physicist who demonstrated the greatness of the human spirit by uncovering the secrets of black holes and the birth of the universe through his insatiable curiosity, despite his body becoming a prison for him due to ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) and forcing him to live his entire life in a wheelchair. It tells the story in an engaging way, tailored to a child's perspective, of how a curious child who loved gazing at the stars and asking how the world moved fought against ALS, which struck at age twenty-one, while exploring the beginning and end of the universe to stand tall as a giant of science following in the footsteps of Newton and Einstein. Stephen Hawking's indomitable will to overcome extreme physical limitations and never cease questioning the world and the universe until his final moments, along with his warm and humane life of always maintaining a cheerful attitude and enjoying communicating with people, provide a deeply moving experience. This book will cultivate in children curiosity and a spirit of inquiry regarding the world around them, as well as the courage and challenging spirit to overcome difficulties.
