About This Book
This bilingual picture book tells the true story of how a poor Brazilian boy named Pelé became the first soccer player ever to score a thousand goals. Illustrated with vibrant, swooping gouache paintings, the book traces his journey from playing with improvised balls to becoming one of the world’s greatest athletes, showing children how determination and love of the game can transform a life.
