It mentions early life quite a big, then skips to the major accomplishments. It is nice that they chose a little known figure to American society (because she is Australian) and while I learned a bit about the indigenous tennis player, it was not enough to be memorable. Evonne Goolagong by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara focuses on the life of one of Australia's most inspiring athletes. Part of the indigenous population native to Australia and a descendant of the Wirundjuri people, Goolagong grew up on a farm. She fell in love with tennis after joining a local club and discovering she had a knack for it. Goolagong practised hard, setting her goal on the prestigious tennis tourney known as Wimbledon. The end of the book contains a more detailed look at Goolagong's life, using language suited for much older readers. Perfect for libraries, and classroom learning. Highly recommended! ***Many thanks to the Netgalley & Quarto Publishing for providing an egalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Evonne grew up on a hot, dusty farm in Australia. She was the third of eight children, and descendant of the Wirundjuri people, who have lived on the land for more than 60,000 years. Her talent for tennis was discovered at a local tennis club, and before she knew it, the girl dreaming about the place called "Wimbledon" was playing on center court. This moving book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the brilliant tennis player's life."-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
