"2016 International Latino Book Award: Best Latino Focused Children's Picture Book--Bilingual ""Bright colors, rounded shapes, and the commentary of early-rising animals who witness Felipe's pilfering add to the charm of the tale, and a glossary of Portuguese terms 'you can learn and practice with your friends' extends the fun.""--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books ""Gonzalez paints with a boldness that gives life to the Brazilian setting, adding a little bounce to this futebol-themed picture book. A lively celebration of futebol, culture, and ingenuity.""--School Library Journal ""Poverty in Brazil probably isn't as spotless as Gonzalez's artwork implies, but the feeling of intimacy and decency is welcome. Crespo's text has a mildly subversive touch--but in the service of the greater good, and it's clear by the end that the whole neighborhood believes in that greater good.""--Kirkus Reviews"
