This lyrical non-fiction picture book celebrates the simple joys of soccer, whatever your background or ability.
“Lerwill and Ruiz’s ode to the Beautiful Game offers a portrait of the sport as one that unites....The picture that emerges of soccer’s universality sings as it inspires.”—
Publishers Weekly
Rather than focusing on rules, skills, superstars, big clubs and record-breaking feats, this uplifting book for young children celebrates the planet's best-loved sport and shows how the world's most accessible game - where the only equipment needed is something that rolls - has evolved into a force for unity, and a sport for absolutely everyone. Spreads cover how soccer can be played by all ages, genders, and abilities, whatever your racial, cultural or economic background, and whether you're in a state-of-the-art stadium or just a simple patch of scrubland.
