"Cathy Freeman: Aussie Big Achievers" By Richard Simpkin

Cathy Freeman is a trailblazer in Australian athletics and an inspiration for children everywhere.

This title from the Aussie Big Achievers series celebrates Cathy’s incredible accomplishments—including becoming the first Aboriginal woman to win an Olympic gold medal in athletics. Her iconic 400-metre sprint victory at the 2000 Sydney Olympics remains one of the most powerful moments in Australian sporting history.

More than an athlete, Cathy Freeman has made lasting contributions as a role model, advocate, and national figure of unity.

Young readers will learn about her journey, her cultural roots, and how she became the only person ever to receive both the Young Australian of the Year and the Australian of the Year awards.

This engaging and educational book encourages all kids to believe in themselves and never give up on their dreams.
