Reviews
Large and colorful action shots, many full spread, keep the story moving at a quick pace. . . . Choose this book with an international bent to supplement other books on bullying, because it will open up another opportunity for conversation and discussion. School Library Journal The poetic text's rhythmic repetition emphasizes the boys' joyful empowerment: "When we play, / we forget to worry. / When we run, / we are not afraid." In full-page oil paintings, Ford uses unusual angles to intensify the sense of the scuffling, exciting action. Booklist While the level of dangeriand deprivationithese boys face may be unfamiliar to many American readers, the quick-moving soccer action, tension, and triumph over the common threat of bullies have near-universal appeal. Publishers Weekly Moving message about soccer's power to inspire and connect fans and players around the world. Booklist I can't think of another book that so succinctly and simply portrays the power of sports to unite and uplifti.wonderfully conveys the passion the rest of the world feels for football as well as the conditions much of the world lives in - a fabulous sports book and so much more. Bookends (Booklist blog) A lyrical, strikingly illustrated story that celebrates the unifying power of soccer. 90 Minutes Soccer Magazine A lyrical, spare story of friendship and empowerment. . . . Gorgeous oil paintings, and Ford perfectly nails the wide-ranging moods that rear their heads in the story: Elation, fear, embarrassment, courage, and right back to elation. And ivictory. Seven Impossible Things blog Uplifting and inspiring, this beautifully written and illustrated book reminds us of the joys and saving grace of friendship and sport. Set in South Africa, this book is a gift for soccer fans and all families around the world. Archbishop Desmond Tutu Action-packed oil paintings expand the artfully clipped style of a satisfying story as much about teamwork, global connection and the pleasure of play as about soccer itself. San Francisco Chronicle Ford's oil paintings capture the faces and posture of boyhood confrontation perfectly. His color choices and use of light to imply motion are masterful News & Record
