From the pitch in England to the fields across our continent and for fans and players alike, K is for Kick: A Soccer Alphabet showcases and explains the sport that brings nations together for a “friendly.”

Author Brad Herzog combines many facets of the game North Americans call soccer into a two-tiered format suitable for young and advanced readers alike. Beginning readers will enjoy the A-Z rhymes, while older readers will delight in learning that world class players can kick the ball more than 70 miles per hour.
 

Soccer is “the simplest game.”
That’s the letter S.
Don’t own a ball? Use rolled-up socks.
No sport does more with less.

there are many ways to play.

started just that way.

Canadian illustrator Melanie Rose-Popp brilliantly depicts the sights and feel of this popular sport up close in this children’s pictorial.
