Thwaack ! Whummpp! Klangg!
From a park in the United States to a pitch in India, from the seaside in Nigeria to a stadium in Uruguay, there's one game that brings the world together. Whether you call it football, soccer, or any other name, it's the most popular sport on the planet.
Follow a fast-paced soccer game around the globe, moving to a new location with each turn of the page. The game includes early morning in Chicago, USA; a nighttime matchup in Shenzhen, China; an early evening game in Kochi, India; and a midafternoon match in Lagos, Nigeria. Journey through time zones and around the globe as kids everywhere use their feet to dribble, shoot, and score all the way through to the final goooooooooal!
Author John Coy and illustrator Phùng Nguyên Quang collaborated across an ocean (and multiple time zones!) to create this action-packed celebration of the power of sport to unite people worldwide!
