Isabel Munoz was born in Asturias, Spain and is a graduate of the University of Madrid where she studied Fine Art. Since she was a child she has been closely linked to drawing: always carrying a book of sketches as she does not want inspiration to find her unprepared. She is a fan of children's stories and loves to stop at the little details that are not visible to the naked eye.
"""Kent continues the Genius Series of first-person biographies featuring such figures as Frida Kahlo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Marie Curie. Hawking warmly introduces himself (in Kent's words): 'I'm known not only for my work on black holes and relativity, but because I beat the odds and lived with a form of Motor Neuron Disease for years longer than doctors predicted."" The narrative is light and even . . . in tone: ""No matter what setbacks you encounter, there is always a way to achieve your dreams.' . . . Munoz captures his resilience and humor (one spread shows children watching his character on The Simpsons) while emphasizing the severity of his disease. Back matter includes a timeline and questions for readers to test their knowledge."" --Publishers Weekly"
