Choosing a football (soccer) team can be difficult under normal circumstances. But what if a giraffe wants to play? Or an orangutan? Even the small fox gets a turn with the ball as the unique differences of each animal become strengths as they are chosen for the team. A sweet tale of inclusion, acceptance, diversity and play. Bright, detailed illustrations help link vocabulary terms to the pictures and side by side text in Anuak and English support bilingual readers develop fluency in indigenous Ethiopian languages. Readers of any age will want to join this team of eager animals as they bring their individual talents to the game, a favorite pastime in Ethiopia and around the world. Part of the Ready, Set, Go! series of books by Open Hearts Big Dreams, a nonprofit devoted to increasing literacy in Ethiopian languages.

Open Hearts Big Dreams Ready Set Go (OHBD-RSG) Books were created to help increase the literacy rate in Ethiopia through giving readers books with stories in their heart languages, full of colorful illustrations with Ethiopian settings and details. Profits from book sales are used to create, print, and distribute more OHBD-RSG books to kids in Ethiopia, Africa's second most populous country. Ethiopia's population has a high percentage of children ages 0-14. Only a small percentage attend pre-school or kindergarten, and the adult literacy rate is around 50%.
