    Finally a book that explains football in a way kids actually enjoy. My 9-year-old reads a few pages before every match now, and it’s amazing how much he’s learned about the history and the players.

    Getting kids to read isn’t always easy, but combining football with fun facts and stories was just perfect. This book not only fed his passion for the game but also helped him spend more time reading on his own. A win-win.

Every parent’s dream: turn the living room kickabout into the first step toward Ballon d’Or glory. While we can’t promise your child will be the next Mbappé, this book does give them the perfect foundation — everything they need to understand, love, and talk about football like a true fan.
