For the Love of Soccer!

Written by soccer legend Pelé, this heart-warming picture book celebrates what he loved most about the game. 
 
What does the world's greatest soccer player love about soccer? The same things that you do! Speed, teamwork, dribbling, passing, taking your best shot—and making a G-O-O-A-A-A-L!
 
Award-winning artist Frank Morrison sets up the play by weaving together two dynamic visual stories: Pelé’s inspiring rise to fame and a young athlete’s efforts to follow in his hero’s speedy footsteps. Together, words and pictures deliver all the fun and excitement of a closely matched game. World Cup fans, come play!

Also available as a reader, perfect for children who are starting to read on their own.
