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.  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.
