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.
