Born to Run

Book • 2007

This book recounts Cathy Freeman's journey from a little girl who loved to run to a world champion athlete.

It includes her experiences growing up in a loving family, her relationship with her severely disabled sister who inspired her, and her rise to the top in athletics.

The book also touches on the challenges she faced, including racism and personal losses, and how she overcame them through hard work, self-belief, and the support of her family.

The narrative is honest and simple, making it relatable to young readers.

The book is accompanied by black and white photos, some of which are family shots, adding a personal touch to the story.
