Summary

La estrella más brillante de la ciencia Stephen Hawking ha sido uno de los científicos más brillantes del siglo xx y el que mejor entendió el universo. Padeció una grave enfermedad que le dejó inmovilizado y siguió estudiando, tuvo hijos, participó en películas, escribió libros extraordinarios e incluso viajó al espacio con su silla de ruedas. Era todo un genio pero, sobre todo, un hombre con unas ganas enormes de aprender y de vivir. Tanto el registro de la narración como el estilo de las imágenes están adecuados a escolares con una franja de edad entre 8 y 11 años. El texto y las ilustraciones se aseguran de tratar temas didácticos transversales a los ámbitos de actividad del personaje, en especial aquellos relativos al mundo de la ciencia, la física y la química, de cara tanto a la lectura en familia como al uso en centros escolares y al refuerzo al programa educativo. Las páginas finales del libro contienen una biografía resumida del personaje y una cronología que lo enmarca en la evolución de su disciplina, entre otros personajes destacados.
 
The Brightest Star in Science Stephen Hawking has been one of the most brilliant scientists of the 20th century and the one who best understood the universe. He suffered a serious illness that left him immobilized and continued to study, had children, participated in movies, wrote extraordinary books and even travelled to the space in his wheelchair. He was a genius but, above all, a man with an enormous desire to learn and to live. Both the narrative register and the style of the images are suitable for children between 8 and 11 years old. The text and illustrations deal with didactic themes of the character's fields of activity, especially those related to the world of science, physics and chemistry, both for reading in the family and for use in schools to reinforce the educational program. The final pages of the book contain a summarized biography of the character and a chronology that frames him in the evolution of his discipline, among other outstanding characters.
