Let's Play Football

Choosing a football (soccer) team can be difficult under normal circumstances. But what if a giraffe wants to play? Or an orangutan? Even the small fox gets a turn with the ball as the unique differences of each animal become strengths as they are chosen for the team. A sweet tale of inclusion, acceptance, diversity and play. Bright, detailed illustrations help link vocabulary terms to the pictures and side by side text in Amharic and English support bilingual readers develop fluency in indigenous Ethiopian languages. Readers of any age will want to join this team of eager animals as they bring their individual talents to the game, a favorite pastime in Ethiopia and around the world.
