Amazing book for soccer loving babies (and parents!). Our 18-month-old loves this book and we read it repeatedly. It’s a nice little bio of Pele and cute pics. Text in English and Spanish is a nice touch.

It should be written in Portugues with Spanish and English. Pele is Brazilian and speaks Portuguese. Also, Brazilians are not Latino, we are Luso.

Brazilian mom - 3 years ago
I felt scammed, the book should be bilingual in Portuguese and not Spanish, Pelé is from BRAZIL and we speak Portuguese. that's one of the books that just reinforce the misinformation that Americans have about Brazil: that we speak Spanish. returning the item. please, do Portuguese next time you write about Brazil/Brazilian people.
