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?

Futbol 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.
