Bookroo's summary
In the Australian outback, young Lydia faces off against desert animals in various sports. The emu outruns her, and the kangaroo outjumps her, but when she tries soccer, she finds her calling as a goalkeeper. With a koala in goal unable to save anything, Lydia steps up and discovers her hidden talent. This delightful tale celebrates self-belief, persistence, and the joy of finding one's unique strengths. Can Lydia outshine her animal friends and become the best goalkeeper?
From the publisher
“I grew up in outback Australia–and my friends were the desert animals. I was always competing against them. I tried to do athletics, but the emu was way too fast, I tried to do basketball, but the kangaroo jumped too high and outscored everyone, so I decided to have a go at soccer. The koala was in goals but never could save anything, so I volunteer to be goalkeeper. And it turns out I was great at it!” A funny and triumphant picture book by soccer goalkeeper Lydia Williams.
