As a child, Stephen Hawking loved looking at the stars and wondering how the universe worked. His curiosity took him to Oxford and Cambridge, where he studied physics and explored some of science’s biggest questions. He became a celebrated physicist and author, best known for his groundbreaking work on black holes and Hawking radiation.

Why I like this book

I love how this book shows that curiosity can be more important than always being at the top of the class. Stephen’s determination to continue his work after developing motor neurone disease also offers valuable representation of a disabled scientist whose ideas transformed our understanding of the universe.

Who it’s great for

  • Children aged 4 to 8 who are fascinated by space and science
  • Young readers who enjoy asking big questions
  • Families and classrooms exploring curiosity, disability and determination
