'We are all time-travellers, journeying together into the future. Be brave. Be determined. Let's work together to make that future a place we want to visit.' 
 
Based on Professor Hawking's 2018 Earth Day address, this inspiring picture asks children everywhere to look up and wonder at the world around them - just as Professor Hawking did his whole life.
