About this item
"Castillo's quiet ink-and-watercolor spreads make it clear that Sierra's situation is different from that of the other girls. . . . A thought-provoking read-aloud." - Publishers WeeklyNothing makes Sierra happy like soccer. But nothing makes her sad like soccer, either, because the restaurant where her auntie works is busy on game days, so she can't watch Sierra play. With honesty and subtlety, author Maribeth Boelts and illustrator Lauren Castillo portray an endearing character in a moving, uplifting story that touches on the divides children navigate every day - and reminds us that everyone needs someone to cheer them on from the sidelines.
