Rezensionen

"This heart-warming story of kindness and community is a delight ... Bali Rai expertly touches on poverty and on the principles Sikhs live by, interweaving these themes and observations into a contemporary, engaging story. Daniel Duncan's black-and-white illustrations are full of expression and recognisable details." - BookTrust

"Positive and rarely seen representation of a Sikh protagonist and family, and the focus of this book is all about intergenerational friendship, community activism and the power of football to bring not only individuals but communities together." - CLPE

"This book is about football but in the most part, it is about kindness, friendship, loneliness, the important work of food banks and a sense of community." - Bentley Heath PS Book Club

A beautiful exploration of the power of football and its ability to bring people together." - Father Teacher Reader

"The power of football is explored in the most beautiful way, alongside the importance of showing kindness to others and combatting loneliness - especially in the older generation - in a story that is both heartwarming and deeply thought-provoking ... an inclusive and an incredibly important read for those in Year 4 upwards." - Mrs Sydney's Famous World's Smallest Library
