I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This is an adorable intro to Stephen Hawking. No, it does not go on nto detail about his personal relationships. It's a kid's book.

These books are getting so short.
Did not offer very much information on Stephen Hawking and didn't see anything in this book that would interest a child.
Usually the illustrations are really good, but this book included a picture that I would think would be pretty creepy for a small child.

I loved this little book on Stephen Hawkins and his life! The illustrations are beautiful, bold, and eye catching. I think children will be drawn to this book because of its bold colors.

And, of course, I loved that the book highlights Stephen’s successes and accomplishments. I always enjoy books that expose kids to individuals that may look different from them- in this case a person in a wheelchair. The book makes sure to explain that being in a wheelchair is not his defining characteristic and that he has many other qualities/ accomplishments.

I do, however, wish that the book was a bit longer.

Although a bit shorter than other Little People Big Dreams, it's still a fabulous book to add to any fans collection! I feel a bit more on his discoveries at the end would have been better.

Before now I've not really seen eye to eye with this junior-and-then-some series, where we have a simple sentence per spread, and about eight or ten spreads in which to tell a life story. They've never really felt like giving anything worthwhile with their paucity. This volume was about the best, even if it still lacks in detail, jumping from diagnosis to wheelchair, and leaving out the whole electronic voicebox as it does. But I'm still not seeing eye to eye – for all that these subjects can inspire the young, why not wait the few months between when these are age-appropriate for your child and when the older, more solidly written volumes are ready in waiting? They're certainly a lot more effective in general than these baby reads.

Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Brilliantly moving and inspiring short biographical storybook for kids. Simple but powerfully crafted to summarize the life and achievements of Stephen Hawkins. Loved it!
