In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy
best-selling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of
Pelé, Brazil's all-time King of Soccer.
With a sock full of rags for a ball, Pelé honed his skills in a poor
neighborhood in Brazil. He believed that, one day, he would lead his
country to World Cup victory--and he was right! With Pelé and his super
skills on the team, Brazil lifted the trophy three times. Today, he is
widely regarded as the greatest soccer player who ever lived--and a hero
off the pitch, too, using his voice to help the people who need it most.
This inspiring book features stylish and quirky illustrations and
extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with
historical photos and a detailed profile of The King's life.
