Shelf Awareness Best Children's Book of the Year

A soccer story--for boy and girls alike--just in time for the World Cup

"Vini Come The field calls " cries a girl as she and her younger brother rouse their community--family, friends, and the local fruit vendor--for a pickup soccer (futbol) game. Boys and girls, young and old, players and spectators come running--bearing balls, shoes, goals, and a love of the sport.

"Friends versus friends" teams are formed, the field is cleared of cows, and the game begins But will a tropical rainstorm threaten their plans?

The world's most popular and inclusive sport has found its spirited, poetic, and authentic voice in Baptiste Paul's debut picture book--highlighting the joys of the game along with its universal themes: teamwork, leadership, diversity, and acceptance. Creole words (as spoken in St. Lucia, the author's birthplace island in the Caribbean) add spice to the story and are a strong reminder of the sport's world fame. Bright and brilliant illustrations by debut children's book illustrator Jacqueline Alc ntara--winner of the We Need Diverse Books Illustration Mentorship Award--capture the grit and glory of the game and the beauty of the island setting where this particular field was inspired.

Soccer fan or not, the call of The Field is irresistible.

GET A VARIETY SET TO DECIDE WHICH FAVS TO BUY NEXT TIME. YOU’LL LIKELY WANT MORE FRESH OLIVES
Flavor Name: Green & Kalamata, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 5)
I did learn of these on Shark Tank and was glad I could try them through Amazon. (I discovered the lemon garlic variety was the one I enjoyed most, so I reordered just those next time.) These are fresh-tasting and hard to stop snacking at one 4-olive serving. If I had guests over, it’s something others would also enjoy. Nice that they come in zipper pack to keep them fresh.

Amazing ‘Go-to’ snack + !
Flavor Name: Kalamata, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 6)
First of all, the olives taste great. I’ve tried some other olive ‘snack’ brands in the past and Freestyle is completely next level in quality, texture and flavor! Secondly, we have zero motivation to buy olives in the jar or at the Whole Foods counter now since these packs work for any application and never seem to get LOST in the back of the fridge. Great branding btw! 2 of our three kids (age 10 and 5) have taken notice and are now a fan of the ‘lemon garlic’. The 10 yr old was initially skeptical after reading the flavor 😂, but after trying them with me was totally down. My wife and I love all the flavors because we use them for different applications - Lemon Garlic and Spicy for snacking (obviously) and the Kalamata for recipes/cooking. My wife is Greek and loves that she now has a healthier alternative always on hand - has even inspired more Greek dishes! Way to go and looking forward to more great Freestyle Snacks!

Delicious and satisfying. Put more in
Flavor Name: Original, Lemon Garlic, Hot & Spicy, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 3)
Delicious. A bit over priced. Wish there were more in the package as I feel like I'm paying for packaging.
