Born to Run (picture book edition)
A gorgeous picture book that will inspire girls and boys everywhere to chase their dreams. As a little girl, Cathy Freeman had only had one dream - to win a gold medal at the Olympics. At twenty-seven years old, that dream came true. At the Sydney 2000 Games, she crossed the finish line, won a gold medal for Australia and became a national hero. How did she go from being a little girl who loved to run to an inspiration to people around the world? Accompanied by beautiful illustrations by Charmaine Ledden-Lewis, Cathy tells her story about where self belief, hard work and the power of a loving family can take you.
Cathy
'I'm just a little black girl who can run fast, and here I am sitting in the Olympic stadium, with 112,000 people screaming my name. How the hell did I get here?' Few of us will forget Cathy Freeman's victorious 400-metre run at the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000. In that euphoric moment she symbolised Australia's best and broadest vision of itself, a reconciled nation. For the first time, in her own words, Cathy Freeman tells the story of her remarkable life. With characteristic honesty she talks about growing up black in a white world, about her complicated personal relationships, about how it feels to have the expectations of an entire nation resting on her shoulders, about the price of fame, and about the real reasons for her heart-wrenching decision to retire. Cathy tells us what it's like to be Cathy Freeman. Her strength, courage and magnetic personality are reflected on every page.

Indigenous peoples in Australia have experienced inequality since the arrival of white colonists. Fortunately, more and more people are advocating for change and fighting for equality for all using different platforms. Cathy Freeman provides students with biographical information about an Aboriginal Australian athlete who used her success to bring attention to the mistreatment of Indigenous peoples and to motivate and inspire people around the world. The book can also be used to teach students how to determine cause-and-effect relationships and the proper use of prefixes.
