Steve Jobs (A True Book™—Biographies)

Written by Joshua Gregory

In the late 1970s, Steve Jobs and his partner, Steve Wozniak, founded a company called Apple Computer. Over the course of the next several decades, Jobs continually pushed consumer technology forward with his innovations in personal computers, computer animation, cellular phones, and much more.

When Steve Jobs died in 2011, the world mourned the passing of one of the most influential inventors and business leaders in history.

Readers (Grades 3-5) will learn about Jobs' incredible life and get a close look at some of his most important innovations, from the Apple II and Macintosh computers to the iPod and the iPhone.
