Harry Kane
From the bestselling biography series Little People, BIG DREAMS, discover the life of Harry Kane, a young boy who became one of England's greatest footballers.
Learn all about the incredible story of Harry Kane, an inspirational athlete whose determination and hard work helped him become captain of England's football team. Little Harry always knew he wanted to be a footballer. He joined his first club, Ridgeway Rovers, at a young age and worked hard to improve his skills every day.
He was soon scouted by Arsenal, who spotted his potential and asked him to join. But when he was dropped from Arsenal after just one season, Harry was devastated - he thought it would be the end of his footballing journey. With the support of his dad and the rest of his family, he picked himself back up, trained even harder, and proved that he had real talent.
And when he joined Tottenham Hotspur, it felt like home. He became their top scorer, netting hundreds of goals and delighting fans with every match. Harry's incredible determination saw him rise to the top and become captain of the England team. In his first World Cup, he won the Golden Boot - a prize for being the top-scorer in the competition. Even in tough matches, Harry has been a pillar of strength for the team, showing true leadership. And he uses his voice off the pitch, too, by starting a foundation to help encourage people to talk about their feelings.
This highly-illustrated book, about a little boy who never gave up on his dream, introduces children to the incredible moments in Harry's career. His remarkable story of determination and perseverance shows young readers that anything is possible. This book also features extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with photos and a detailed profile of the athlete's life.
