Fútbol Is Life! / ¡Fútbol es vida! (Bilingual Hardcover Storybook)

An inspirational bilingual picture book from Cristo Fernández, the actor and filmmaker best known for his role as Dani Rojas on the Emmy Award-winning show Ted Lasso.

Cristobalito and his soccer ball go everywhere together in his Mexican hometown of Guadalajara, Jalisco . . . until an injury leaves him sidelined. Without the ball at his feet, Cristo looks around. Could his grandmother teach him the art of making tamales? Could his sister show him a whole new way of moving, like ballet? What else has he been missing?

Inspired by Ted Lasso actor Cristo Fernández’s own life, this English-Spanish bilingual book celebrates growth, culture, and courage, exploring themes of being open to change and discovering new passions. Fútbol is Life! is a joyful story about resilience and heart, reminding readers that life has many ways to score . . . and every one of them is worth celebrating.

Perfect for young soccer players and any Ted Lasso fan!
