This picture book tells the incredible true story of a group of Thai boys who built a floating soccer field. They lived on a floating man-made island off the coast of the mainland. The only time they could play soccer was twice a month when the full moon or the new moon would cause low tides to reveal the sand bar. They decided that if they could live in a floating town, they could build a floating field. After practicing on their new floating field, the boys entered a soccer tournament on the mainland.

The pictures are vibrant and full of movement. I loved the attention to detail in the illustrations and particularly enjoyed the birds-eye view illustrations. I thought this was an interesting perspective.

After the story, the author's note explains how the author came to learn of the floating soccer field and his visits to the island. Prasit, the main character of the story, has included his own note. The author even adds a translation table to teach children Thai soccer words.

The author was particularly moved by this story as he's a big soccer fan. He has selected a really inspiring story to tell that will resonate with many children who have a passion for sports or other ambitions.

I received a digital ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to NetGalley and Millbrook Press.
