Description
Hot on the heels of the critically acclaimed The Kiwi Runners' Family Tree: Volume One 1800s to 1999 comes this second volume, showcasing the inspirational Kiwi running stars of our millennium to date.

In this volume, readers will hear about our fastest ever middle-distance runner; unstoppable female runners; the rise and rise of Para athlete runners; a new breed of adventure runners; and high-octane 'weekend warriors'.
This series of books will appeal to runners, athletes, sports fans, parents, children, educators, and those seeking inspiration.

About the Author
Dreydon Sobanja is children's picture book author who has now moved taken on the challenge of a book of NZ athlete biographies about New Zealand runners. Dreydon has had a love for running since he was four years old, when he saw John Walker win his 1500-metre gold in Montreal and has emulated Sir John by providing inspirational sessions to schools and libraries around the country. Dreydon has previously self-published three New Zealand books to inspire children to dream big, through his organisation Inspired Kids Ltd; Bruce Wants to Go Faster (9780473360627), Ed Climbs a Big Hill (9780473227838) and Jean Dreams of Flying (9780473227845). Fellow Aucklander and urban artist, Murray Dewhurst, has added clever design elements that make this book a Kiwi keepsake. Murray was also the designer of Bruce Wants to Go Faster, which made the Storyline's Notable Books List for 2017.
