Publisher's summary

Alex Kajumulo, the founder of Kajumulo World Soccer and a former professional soccer player from Tanzania, has written the first children's book by an African soccer player for young soccer enthusiasts.

Alex created Soccer Monster© from his life as a young boy inspired by soccer to leave his small village and experience the world. He brings all of his skills as an internationally trained and FIFA-certified soccer coach and as a young lover of soccer growing up in Africa to the Soccer Monster character.

Soccer Monster is sure to inspire your child to join in the game. Soccer Monster is an international, multicultural soccer player with all the skills and enthusiasm to share with other soccer-playing children. His best friend, Twiga (giraffe in Swahili), is also a very skilled young player with amazing skills and contagious enthusiasm for the sport of soccer.

Together, a young boy and a young girl who show that any child - no matter their size, strength, gender, or experience - can have fun and develop skills playing soccer. In Soccer Monster Teaches Basic Skills, the first installment of the Soccer Monster series, they teach the new kid in town that with a few basic skills like dribbling, throw-ins, chesting, and kicking, he can join in the neighborhood soccer game with confidence and make new friends.

This book will also teach parents valuable information about soccer skills that will allow them to practice with their children and support the young athlete's development in soccer. Soccer Monster Teaches Basic Skills was written at a grade school level for easy listening and clear instruction. In addition, Soccer Monster sends a strong message of inclusion everyone can play: boys and girls.

Alex believes it is very important to provide strong messages about the importance of sport to all children, especially young girls who have not always been encouraged to develop as athletes.

The true heart of soccer for the young beginner

In a straightforward and appealing manner, Alex makes the game of soccer accessible to the young beginner. He weaves friendship, work ethic, skills, and personal accountability together in an easy to read engaging tale. Alex also represents the true heart of soccer—an inclusive, diverse, team oriented game—so very relevant in today’s world. I highly recommend this book.
