What if one of the greatest inventions of our time had been kept for its inventor alone? Tim: The Inventor of the Web is a true story told like a storybook tale. Created for children aged 6 to 12, this book introduces young readers to Tim Berners-Lee, the curious boy who grew up to invent the World Wide Web — and who chose to make it freely available to everyone. From his childhood experiments with electronics to his work at CERN and the creation of the first website, Tim’s story shows how curiosity, creativity and generosity can transform a simple idea into something that changes the world. It also introduces children, in clear and accessible language, to concepts such as computers, the Internet, websites, browsers and the Web. Part of the People of Our Time series, the book combines an illustrated true story with a timeline, simple explanations and themed activities, including quizzes, word games, puzzles and a word search. It is suitable for independent reading, family reading, classroom activities, schools and libraries.
