Rather than focusing on rules, skills, superstars, big clubs and record-breaking feats, this uplifting book for young children celebrates the planet's best-loved sport. It shows how the world's most accessible game—where the only equipment needed is something that rolls—has evolved into a force for unity, and a sport for absolutely everyone.

Spreads cover how football can be played by all ages, genders, and abilities, whatever your racial, cultural or economic background, and whether you're in a state-of-the-art stadium or just a simple patch of scrubland.
