Overview

Little Questions, Big Universe - How Stephen Hawking Turned Wonder into World-Changing Ideas From the first page, this tender, page-turning picture book invites young readers to look up-way up-at a sky full of mysteries and to meet a boy who loved asking ""Why?"" Stephen grows up curious and kind, the sort of child who takes apart toys to see how gears whisper to each other, who stares at the stars and wonders what keeps them twinkling. School brings bigger questions, then college brings even bigger ones, and soon Stephen is studying the universe itself-galaxies, black holes, and the strange rules that space seems to follow like dance steps. When an illness arrives and his muscles begin to tire, the world changes shape: walking grows hard, writing grows slow, and speaking becomes a challenge. But Stephen's ideas? They only get louder. With a wheelchair for traveling and a special computer voice for talking, he keeps thinking, keeps smiling, keeps sharing. He teaches the world that even when a body is still, a mind can fly farther than any rocket. Told in gentle, child-friendly language, this story follows Stephen from a question-filled childhood to the moment he helps scientists see black holes in a brand-new way-showing they can ""shine"" with tiny bits of energy. Along the way, children learn that bravery does not always look like capes and superpowers. Sometimes it looks like patience. Sometimes it sounds like a metal voice saying, ""Let's keep going."" This fully colored, richly illustrated book paints Stephen's life with warmth and clarity: a supportive family, a love of puzzles and play, the sparkle of discovery, and the joyful truth that big dreams can live in any body.
