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.
