| Abstract | "A soccer story for boy and girls alike just in time for the World Cup! 'Vini! Come! The field calls!' cries a girl as she and her younger brother rouse their community-- family, friends, and the local fruit vendor-- for a pickup soccer (futbol) game. Boys and girls, young and old, players and spectators come running-- bearing balls, shoes, goals, and a love of the sport. Friends versus friends teams are formed, the field is cleared of cows, and the game begins! But will a tropical rainstorm threaten their plans?"--Provided by publisher. |
| Abstract | Children form teams, build a pitch, and play a joyous game of soccer, in a book with English and Creole (as spoken in Saint Lucia) vocabulary words. |
