Today Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar are the kings of football, but when they were little they went through the same things all kids go through - lots of play and pleasure, but also fickle friendships, family disputes and ridicule from their peers. The road from insecure boys to idols watched by the entire world is presented by Michael Part, an American children's author whose books have successfully sold in 36 different countries.
The life stories of their favourite footballers can teach young readers about believing in oneself, working hard and persevering, while improving their reading skills. Large print and generous line spacing allow kids to read quickly and easily, so they gain confidence both at school and on the pitch.
