An inspiring children's story about Isaac Newton, curiosity, and the power of asking "Why?"

Long before he became one of the greatest scientists in history, Isaac Newton was just a quiet boy with big questions and a notebook full of dreams.

While other children played games in the fields of Woolsthorpe, little Isaac chased falling apples and sketched the stars. Why do apples always fall down? Why doesn't the moon fall too? What secrets does the universe hold?

In this beautifully written and heartwarming tale, young readers will follow Isaac as he explores the wonders of nature, observes the world around him, and begins a lifelong journey of discovery. Based on the childhood of Isaac Newton, The Boy Who Chased Apples and Dreamed of Stars introduces children to the spirit of scientific thinking and the joy of curiosity.

🍎 Perfect for ages 4–8, this book:

  • Inspires kids to observe, explore, and ask questions
  • Blends storytelling with science in a magical, relatable way
  • Sparks early interest in STEM and the history of great minds
  • Makes a wonderful read-aloud for classrooms and bedtime
  • Whether your child is a future inventor, a stargazer, or just full of wonder, this story will remind them that every great discovery begins with a simple question—and a child brave enough to chase the answer.
