Critic Reviews

“"Foreman works a good visual transition from the playground to the professional soccer field, loading the page-and-a-half spreads with action and the color of sport pageantry. . . . Lots of a good thing here." -- Kirkus Reviews”

"A perfectly paced story about passion, dedication and what they might bring, accompanied by Foreman’s tender drawings… You might say he has the hand of God… Vital reading for aspiring Harry Kanes everywhere" -- Alex O'Connell The Times, Children's Book of the Week
"The illustrations are dynamic and action-packed, yet soft, gentle and atmospheric at the same time. This is a real 'father and son' bonding book, and one of a kind" EYE
"Watercolours are splendid... evocatively captured." The School Librarian
