Einstein is what they called him in school, this Stephen Hawking. He was a super genius. As a child, he once built a computer from clock parts and an old telephone. Stephen was so smart that he was a student at the best universities in England: Cambridge and Oxford. He studied cosmology. Hawking was fascinated with black holes. But at 21 years old, he was stricken with a disease that was slowly paralyzing his body, ALS. Even with this disease, his mind never stopped. Hawking went on to find that black holes did emit light. He also invented a way to communicate with his new voice, since his old one stopped working. Doctors gave him 2 years to live when he was 21. Stephen hawking celebrated his 50th birthday by taking a zero gravity ride, 40 years after his confinement to a wheelchair. This goes to show any of us that we are all capable of doing the magnificent, achieving the impossible, and silencing the doubtful. An absolute 10/10 all around for this book. I think that this book not only has an amazing story, but amazing illustration, I am truly obsessed with the art in this book. I think that Stephen's story is so fascinating, and I think it's super cool to teach children about physical disabilities or diseases that real people have. I think it was a little weird that the story never directly named the condition he had, but it definitely talked about it and made it a key element to the story. I think that this picture book was done so perfectly, meshing the complicated science world with the world of children and creativity. It is just beautiful. Many people know Stephen Hawking as a genius. This story teaches about him growing up to become the genius that he was. He was not the smartest in school but still grew up to solve "mysteries of the universe." He had a rare disease that paralyzed him. The story said this about Hawkings character, "Maybe he couldn't control his body but in order to study the universe all he needed was his mind." I like this because it shows how powerful out minds and ideas can be. I think this can apply to anybody even if they are not paralyzed. For example, if you are short and can't reach something on a high shelf you can use your mind to figure out a new way to reach it. So some things may seem impossible but if we think critically we can often figure it out. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

"When Stephen Hawking was a little boy, he used to stare up at the stars and wonder about the universe. Although he was never top of the class, his curiosity took him to the best universities in England: Oxford and Cambridge. It also led him to make one of the biggest scientific discoveries of the 20th century: Hawking radiation. This moving book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the brilliant physicist's life"--Amazon.com.

Yes! Een nieuwe Little People! En deze keer ééntje over de fascinerende, indrukwekkende Stephen Hawking. De illustraties in deze reeks (telkens door iemand anders) zijn keer op keer geweldig maar in dit geval passen ze echt heel goed bij de persoon Hawking. Knap werk van Hunt!
Niet enkel Hawking zelf blijkt fascinerend (dat wist ik wel al) maar hij komt ook uit een super boeiende familie. Ze hielden bijvoorbeeld bijen in de kelder en lazen allemaal tijdens het avondeten. Klinkt als een familie waar ik had willen opgroeien;) Deze boeken zijn niet enkel voor kinderen, volwassen leren er ook nog iets uit bij, geloof me maar.
Ik ben blij dat Hawking nu ook zijn eigen deeltje in deze wondermooie reeks heeft. Vroeger deelden ze Nobelprijzen uit, nu val je in de prijzen als je een eigen boekje krijgt :)
Lees ze, spaar ze, deel ze! Fan! ( )
