Acerca de este libro electrónico

Lin's excited about her first school sports day until she comes last. A relatable picture book about endurance and resilience from the award-winning author and Australian Survivor contestant, Wai Chim.

It's Sports Day! Everyone has a different House colour.
I'm in the Red House. Go Red!

It's time for the sack race. On your marks, get set, go!
But not everyone can come first.
Sometimes winning means finishing, even if you finish last.

A reassuring celebration of the spirit to keep going, from award-winning author Wai Chim and acclaimed illustrator Freda Chiu.

'An uplifting tale of why your best is enough ... Brilliant.' Hayley Leake, 2021 winner of Australian Survivor: Brains v Brawn

Acerca del autor

Wai Chim is the Chinese-American-Australian author of a number of children's and YA titles including Freedom Swimmer and most recently The Surprising Power of a Good Dumpling, which was a Kirkus Prize finalist in the US and was short-listed for the Australian Prime Minister's Literary Awards. Last-Place Lin is her first picture book and was inspired by her time on Australian Survivor: Brains v Brawn. Born to immigrant parents in New York, Wai grew up speaking Cantonese at home and brings a lot of her diasporic identity into her work. She spent some time living in Japan before making Australia her permanent home. In addition to writing, Wai works as a Business System Analyst for The Starlight Children's Foundation. She currently lives in Sydney with her husband and beloved cat, Freddie.

Freda Chiu is an author and illustrator from Sydney, Australia. As well as illustrating children's books, her work spans comics, editorial and retail graphics. Outside her art practice, Freda lectures in Illustration at the University of Technology Sydney. Her debut picture book, A Trip to the Hospital, was short-listed for the CBCA Award for New Illustrator and the IBBY Australia Ena Noël Awards.
