review:
'Evonne Goolagong' by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara with illustrations by Lisa Koesterke is about the famous Australian tennnis player.
Evonne, a descendant of the Wirundjuri people, grew up in a large family on a dusty farm. When she found a tennis ball, her dreams of tennis began, but as an Indigenous person, getting to play in a tennis club was not allowed. She caught some breaks along the way, and eventually became a world star of tennis.
I liked this story of dreams and determination. The illustrations were fun, and I liked the biography section that is at the end of this entire series.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Childrens, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
