Fara, the Soccer Fairy

Soccer fans rejoice in this fractured fairy tale about finding confidence in what brings you joy.

In this winsome rhyming story, a young fairy named Fara loves soccer but doesn’t believe in herself — especially when the kingdom’s naysayers think that fairies have no business “flicking a ball.” What is a budding fairy soccer champ to do?

Full of imaginative imagery, laughs, bold art, and nods to well-known fairy tales, Fara the Soccer Fairy is a pitch perfect picture book about confidence and following what’s in your heart.
