Mati goes with his family to a national team match, and the shared cheering in red-and-white colors awakens a big dream in him—he wants to become a soccer player. For his birthday he gets soccer cleats, and his parents sign him up for a soccer school, where he begins to discover everything that soccer involves.
In the book, children naturally learn the basic rules of the game, what training looks like, and what pre-match rituals can be like. Most importantly, Mati makes new friends and experiences his first “real” match.
The My Passion series motivates children to discover what they enjoy and to broaden their horizons with other interesting hobbies and interests.
