really liked it

This picture book biography focuses on the young life of Brazilian soccer star Neymar da Silva Santos Junior. A first person narrative follows him from practicing in the house as a child until he makes his first adult professional team at the age of seventeen.

The text is accessible as either a read aloud in a group situation or by an independent reader and will definitely appeal to young soccer fans. The text focuses on how much hard work he put into becoming a soccer star, yet still found that his time with family and growing up was just as important. The graphically styled illustrations put the story in motion as they create a sense of movement and soccer action.

I would recommend this book for purchase by any school or public library.
