(Firefly Books, Dec. 11, 2018)
Football's biggest stars, with special emphasis on how nice guys finish first! Chock-full of today's NFL heroes, Football Stars is the ultimate kids' guide to America's favorite game. Over 20 of the NFL's best and brightest players are profiled, while a 14-page football primer tells young readers everything they need to know to become experts of the game. Being great at passing, receiving, tackling or kicking is just one facet of the players featured in Football Stars. Some stars, like Aaron Rodgers and Antonio Brown, show how hard work and a will to succeed have propelled them to the top, while others, like Drew Brees, do their best to give back to those in need, challenging the old adage that "nice guys finish last". Accompanying each player's remarkable story is a unique graphic poster that highlights a theme from his profile. Lighting up smiles by day and stadiums by night, the athletes featured in Football Stars are shining examples of what can happen if you focus on your goals and make the right choices.
