In a true tale of a young girl in Iran and her grandmother, this
beautiful ode to family celebrates small moments of love that
become lifelong memories. "This apparently uneventful story is
imbued with quiet richness; the careful delight of daily routines
adding up to a lifetime's worth of love." Guardian In this big
universe full of many moons, I have travelled and seen many
wonders, but I have never loved anything or anyone the way I love
my grandma. While Mina is growing up in Iran, the centre of her
world is her grandmother. Whether visiting friends next door, going
to the mosque for midnight prayers during Ramadan, or taking an
imaginary trip around the planets, Mina and her grandma are never
far apart... At once deeply personal and utterly universal, this
story is a love letter of the rarest sort: the kind that shares a
bit of its warmth with every reader.
Just in time for the World Cup, an inspiring story of a Brazilian
boy who dreams of being a football star - and the sister who steps
in to help his team win a game. When Paulo Marcelo Feliciano
becomes a football star, crowds will cheer his famous name! Then
his mother won't have to work long hours, and he won't have to work
all day on a fishing boat. For now, Paulo takes care of his little
sister Maria (she teaches him reading, he teaches her football
moves) and walks her to school, stopping to give his team-mates
cheese buns as they set out to shine people's shoes or perform for
the tourist crowd. At the day's end, it's time to plan the game,
where Givo will bounce, Carlos will kick - and Jose will fly! But
when Jose falls on his wrist, will the team finally break the rules
and let a girl show her stuff? Set in a country whose resilient
football stars are often shaped by poverty, this uplifting tale of
transcending the expected scores a big win for all.
