OLIVER'S GREAT BIG UNIVERSE
The summer 2023 lead title for Abrams and Simon & Schuster UK.
OLIVER'S GREAT BIG UNIVERSE by Jorge Cham is about an 11-year old boy (Oliver) who is curious about the world and wants to be an astrophysicist. He's anxious about entering middle school, though, and wondering how he's going to fit in. But with the help of his favorite teacher - Dr. Howard - he sees how complex scientific theories (the Big Bang, black holes, the size of the planets) can actually help him understand his own exploration of the dark mysterious universe that is middle school.
With 250 b/w comic style illustrations.
This is the first book in a planned 3-book series faturing Oliver. Each book will tackle a new scientific topic; book 1 being about the space, book 2 likely about oceans and book 3 still to be decided.
Jorge Cham is the author (along with Daniel Whiteson) of WE HAVE NO IDEA (Riverhead, 2017) and FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE UNIVERSE, which is forthcoming from Riverhead. He is the creator of the popular web comic phdcomics.com and is also a co-creator of the PBS Kids show "Elinor Explains Why", which is one of the highest rated shows on PBS's Kids. He obtained his Ph.D. from Stanford University in Robotics and taught at Cal Tech.
