Description

About the Kiwi author

Dreydon SobanjaDreydon Sobanja is an Auckland-based athlete and author who enjoys inspiring children by retelling the stories of iconic New Zealanders.

In 2013, two books in The Inspirational Kiwis Book Series were published, Jean Dreams of Flying and Ed Climbs a Big Hill. They have both been described by Graeme Beattie on his blog as “charming, inspirational and educational.” Through these books, Dreydon “encourages children to focus on their dreams,” and includes tools and resources on the back pages to help them achieve this.

In October 2016, Bruce Wants to go Faster was published as book three in the series. The book provides a biography of Bruce McLaren, with a level of detail suited to 10-12 year old readers and “nostalgic 60s inspired illustrations.” Toni Street praises the book for showing children a “Kiwi example” of “how you can achieve your dreams even when the path seems impossible.”
