Oceania Olympians

I’m really proud of this book because it celebrates some of the greatest athletes from the islands of Oceania! You’ll be inspired by Valerie Adams, the unstoppable Tongan-Kiwi shot putter. You’ll cheer for Jerry Tuwai, the two-time Olympic gold medallist from Fiji. You’ll be amazed by Lisa Carrington, the first Māori woman to win an Olympic gold medal.

The Olympians and Paralympians in this book faced great challenges to achieve their dreams, and they made their countries proud. Their stories will inspire you to strive for your goals and let your talents shine like the sun on the waters of Oceania!
