This is a great collection of soccer legends, rising stars, female soccer greats and even coaches. Their journeys are truly inspirational and kids and fans can learn a lot from this book. The reflections in chapters makes it immersive for the listener. My favorite is the story of Sadio Mane who shares his earnings to uplift his town in Senegal. The inclusion of World Cup Host City preparation makes it unique. It inspired my grandchild to be an engineer for the World Cup. I would highly recommend this.
