Stephen Hawking: Renowned Physicist and Children’s Author

My thoughts and prayers are with Mr Hawking and his family.

Something many people may not know about Hawking is that he is also a great children’s author. Along with his Daughter Stephen authored George’s Secret Key to the Universe. My kids (even my 4 yr old) sat enraptured to the book as my wife read it to them last summer. They love it and are waiting for the sequel.
