Do you like to gaze at the stars? So did the young Stephen Hawking. Eventually, he turned his fascination with the night sky into a career of trying to figure out how the universe began and how it works. As a child, Hawking loved the stars and he loved math class. In college, he studied physics and cosmology, or how the universe came to be. But then he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a disease that shuts down the nerves that control muscles. His doctors thought he had two years to live, so Hawking started working hard to meet his goals. He studied black holes and made discoveries that earned him recognition around the world. He wrote several books about the universe to help people understand his ideas. More than fifty years after his diagnosis, Hawking still has ALS, but he continues to ponder the night skies, trying to find one theory that will explain the universe.

Do you enjoy playing computer games or learning programming code? As a child, Ada Lovelace loved learning about math and science. As an adult, she used that knowledge to create the first computer program-before electronic computers even existed!When Lovelace was a child, girls didn't typically study math. But she loved the subject and often dreamed about new machines. Lovelace learned from famous mathematicians and became friends with inventor and engineer Charles Babbage. Realizing the full potential of his calculating machines, she became a pioneer of computer programming. But how did she get there? Find out how Lovelace's determination helped her become the first computer programmer.

This lighthearted book focuses on the serious subject of children's cybersafety and the essentials of being a good digital citizen. The setting is an adventure in cyberspace with a curious cat and studious mouse, Max and Dean. During their travels, they remember the ABC's that every good cybercitizen should follow: ACT Safely, BEHAVE Respectfully, CHOOSE Responsibly. As they navigate the web, they protect their password, keep friends from downloading viruses, and block a cyberbully. Max and the Mouse: Safe in Cyberspace is the perfect book for families or teachers of elementary school age children in the 21st Century. Max and Dean make it easy to open up the conversation about how to be safe in cyberspace. Strongly focusing on digital citizenship, the young reader can conclude their learning experience by taking the pledge to follow the ABC's and in turn receive a good cybercitizen certificate. In addition to the story, this book is uniquely formatted with over a dozen Pawlinks. Max's Pawlinks are QR "Quick Response" Code Links that can be scanned by a mobile device during or after the reading to uncover bonus learnings such as definitions, videos, and even a coloring page of the ABC's. This is the first STEM book in a series focused on promoting education in the subjects of SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, MATHEMATICS. Everything within the book that is STEM related is in color, while the rest of the book is in black and white. Max and the Mouse was created by FAM Books.
