Full Description

Sunakali, a small Nepalese country girl, keeps goats with her friends in the Himalayas. But the girls have a secret passion—soccer! They play it every afternoon in the pastures. One day, a visitor from Katmandu asks to meet them. “I want to start a national women’s soccer team. I will coach you and get you invited to tournaments.” It’s the beginning of an incredible true story.
About The Author

Jennifer Vorms-Le Morvan

After working as a director of a network of radio and TV stations, Jennifer opened a bookstore. Her travels took her to Nepal where she met Sunakali and the Pakistani director of a documentary about Sunakali's soccer success.

Nicolas Wild

The creator of many comic books, Nicolas illustrated the famous picture book series Kabul Disco. He has also created comic books about the people he met in a Nepalese refugee camp and has explored many aspects of the nation of Iran through his works.
Book Reviews

Wild's brightly colored, finely inked illustrations, done in a dynamic, comics-esque style, evoke Nepalese culture in this lightly fantastical portrayal of the Himalayan landscape...This biography is encouraging in its portrayal of a team that fought to improve.
