review:
'Pele' by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara with illustrations by Camila Rosa is a young reader biography of the famous soccer player.

Pele was born Edson Arantes do Nascimento in Bauru, Brazil, and given the nickname Pele by his friends. He loved soccer so much that he made his own ball when he couldn't get one. He became the greatest soccer player, but also used his fame to show how soccer could unite people.

I continue to love and champion this Little People, Big Dreams series. These are really great biographies adapted for young readers. Like the rest of this series, this one has a different illustrator than other books in the series. I love Camila Rose's bright, fun illustrations.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Children's Books, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
