A young Sikh footballer reaches out across the generational divide to help a lonely old man in an uplifting story from acclaimed author Bali Rai.

A young Sikh footballer reaches out across the generational divide to help a lonely old man in an uplifting story from acclaimed author Bali Rai.

When he spots a lonely old man watching his football games in the park, and then sees him again eating at the local gurdwara kitchen, Bobby wants to help.

At first the man doesn’ t seem very friendly and he doesn’ t want to take part in the local walking football league for older people that Bobby tells him about.

But when Bobby eventually changes his mind, it turns out that the man is a talented former professional footballer who has recently been widowed, and Bobby’ s invitation opens up a rewarding new opportunity for him to make connections in his local community.

Recenzijas

"This heart-warming story of kindness and community is a delight Bali Rai expertly touches on poverty and on the principles Sikhs live by, interweaving these themes and observations into a contemporary, engaging story. Daniel Duncans black-and-white illustrations are full of expression and recognisable details." BookTrust



"Positive and rarely seen representation of a Sikh protagonist and family, and the focus of this book is all about intergenerational friendship, community activism and the power of football to bring not only individuals but communities together." CLPE



"This book is about football but in the most part, it is about kindness, friendship, loneliness, the important work of food banks and a sense of community." Bentley Heath PS Book Club



A beautiful exploration of the power of football and its ability to bring people together." Father Teacher Reader



"The power of football is explored in the most beautiful way, alongside the importance of showing kindness to others and combatting loneliness especially in the older generation in a story that is both heartwarming and deeply thought-provoking an inclusive and an incredibly important read for those in Year 4 upwards." Mrs Sydney's Famous World's Smallest Library

An uplifting tale of football and community (Dyslexia-friendly)
Bali Rai was born in Leicester where he grew up in a multicultural community dreaming of playing football for Liverpool FC, being Bob Marley or becoming a writer. He writes the books he would have enjoyed as a teenager and his book Rani and Sukh is a set-text for GCSE English. His novel, Killing Honour, won the North East Teenage Book Award, and was described as utterly compelling by The Bookseller.
