Overview

""Little Kaiser, Big Dreams"" - How Franz Beckenbauer Became a Legend in Farsi and English How do you explain legendary greatness to a very small child? The Story of Franz Beckenbauer: An Inspiring Story for Kids in Farsi and English sweeps readers aged 3-7 onto the emerald pitches of Munich and beyond, following a boy nicknamed Der Kaiser who dared to dream bigger than the goalposts in front of him. In simple, rhythmic sentences in English and carefully matched Farsi (پارسی) each page shows Franz as a curious youngster juggling a rolled-up sock in his parents' apartment, a determined teen training long after friends wandered home, and finally a gracious captain whose vision revolutionized football for generations. We see him learn that winning begins with listening, that leadership means helping the youngest teammate tighten his laces, and that true champions bow their heads in thanks before raising a trophy. Children cheer as Franz overcomes early doubts-too thin, too shy, too ""different""-by practicing kindness, courage, and creative play. Parents will appreciate how the tale frames success not as endless score-keeping but as cooperation, respect for rules, and the sheer joy of movement. Illustrator-artist duos on each spread paint sun-splashed stadiums, old-fashioned cleats, and jubilant crowds in rich, full-spectrum color-while gentle Farsi calligraphy curls beneath the English text like stadium chants in two harmonious languages. By the final whistle, little readers understand that greatness is woven from patience, practice, and heart-that the most dazzling pass you can give the world is believing in yourself and sharing the ball. With a full pronunciation guide and a mini-glossary of soccer words in both languages, this book doubles as an early bilingual primer, a character-building fable, and an invitation to run outside and play.
