A Soccer (or Football) Sleepover in Brazil

This 27-page fully-illustrated and narrated interactive storybook about soccer (football) and Brazil is perfect for ages 4-8! Designed as a picture book, the story contains fun samba music, a map game, flag identification game and a soccer (or football) game where kids can score goals! So grab your passports this summer, pack your pajamas and join Noah, Clive and Fernão on a soccer (or football) adventure in Brazil!

Noah can practice soccer (or football) all night and day and then again all day and night! He can play when he is awake, when he is sleepy and even when he is hungry! In Brazil, Clive and Noah meet Fernão. Fernão is from Brazil. He stumps Noah and Clive with a clever riddle. Do you know what twists and turns to the tune of samba? What soars high in the sky and has touched the floors of the Amazon jungle and the shores of the vast Brazilian coast? The story features diversity, cultures and how the sport of football/soccer brings together communities and children in Brazil. “I started the Community Cup so I could bring all my friends together,” the character of Fernão says towards the end of the story.

The story also comes with fun facts about Brazil, fun facts about soccer (football), a glossary and real pictures of Brazil. Free downloadable Teacher and Parent’s Guides with comprehension questions, activities and more are available on our website at (www.globalsleepover.com)
