Futsal Teamwork follows a young player who learns that trying to be the solo star isn't as effective or fun as passing the ball and working together.

Its simple, accessible text and action-oriented illustrations are perfect for early readers, ages 6 to 8. It's an excellent, gentle tool for starting conversations about being a good teammate in sports and in life.
