I received a copy of Meet Clara Hughes by Elizabeth MacLeod and illustrated by Mike Deas from Scholastic Canada in exchange for an honest review.

Meet Clara Hughes is a Scholastic Canada Biography of Olympic medalist Clara Hughes. Clara Hughes, at the time of this publication and review, is the only person in the world to ever win multiple medals at both the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics. She has medals in women's cycling and in speed skating. This biography shows how Clara has many obstacles to overcome in her childhood and even after she won medals at the Olympics, she found herself battling depression. Her journey to better mental health and multiple Olympics is one that inspires others as she also uses her influence to help others through organizations like Right to Play and Bell Let's Talk.
