Soccer Star by Mina Javaherbin illustrated by Renato Alarcao*

Paulo Marcelo Feliciano dreams how he and his soccer team will be soccer stars like Pele and others.
This book focuses on a boy's love for soccer but I love how it also gives readers a chance to see how others live in the world.  It was good for my boys to see how majority of the world fights daily against poverty.
The book was not preachy-just gently brought the reader into Paulo's world.
The physical size of the book is larger than average so great for story time.
**Highly recommend.
