WANTED: biographies/autobiographies for Year 5

Following Future Me Day and Raising Aspirations week, we are starting a new English unit in Year 5 next week based on biographies. If any Year 5 parents have any biographies or autobiographies that they would be happy sending to school with their child, we would be really grateful. It will help the children understand the genre if they have some real ones to look at. Thanks!
