Description
The Children’s Book Committee of Bank Street College of Education Best Children’s Books of the Year List – Family/School/Community & Outstanding Merit (2024)
An unforgettable tale of persistence and problem-solving, based on the amazing true story of a Thai soccer team who made their own place to play. In Thailand’s Phang Nga Bay, atop a network of stilts, floats the village of Koh Panyee–where a group of boys loved soccer but had nowhere to practice. Where could they find space to dribble, juggle, shoot, and score? The boys looked out at the water and started gathering tools. Even while their neighbors laughed, they sawed wood, hammered nails, and tied barrels together. The team worked for weeks to build Koh Panyee’s first floating field–a place to practice, and a place to transform their community…With engaging soccer scenes and atmospheric images of southern Thailand, this inspiring book follows a group of boys who became a team long before they had jerseys or even a field. Plank by plank, they built their dream.
