I Want to Be an Olympian

Most kids dream of becoming an elite athlete and representing their country. At the height of that desire sits the Olympic Games, a sporting tradition that started in Ancient Greece in 776 BC. I WANT TO BE AN OLYMPIAN describes - as an emotive and inspired first-person account - the quest for Olympic competition. Written by someone who's lived the dream - Olympic gold medallist Sally Carbon - I WANT TO BE AN OLYMPIAN evokes the inspirational tale of a child who grows up wishing for a chance at the Olympics, and one day makes that dream a reality through determination, hard work and persistence. With evocative illustrations from renowned Australian illustrator, Paul Harvey, and Olympic facts and hidden words peppered throughout, I WANT TO BE AN OLYMPIAN is a must for any child who has ever dreamt of being an Olympian.
