Why I like this book
I love how Wilma’s story shows children that the expectations of others do not have to define their future. Her journey from being told she might never walk to becoming an Olympic champion is extraordinary, but the book also celebrates the determination, patience and hard work behind her achievements.
Who it’s great for
- Children aged 4 to 7 who love sport and inspiring real life stories
- Young readers learning about determination, courage and overcoming challenges
- Families and classrooms exploring equality, perseverance and remarkable women
