About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child feels like an outsider in their own family, especially when everyone else shares a passion the child does not. My Football Family follows a young boy whose entire family is obsessed with football. They eat, sleep, and breathe the sport, but he just is not interested. The story gently explores his feelings of being left out and his journey to discover his own passion for drawing, ultimately finding a unique way to connect with his family's love for the game on his own terms. It is a heartwarming tale for ages 6 to 9 that validates a child's individual interests and shows that love and belonging can be expressed in many different ways.
