Madlenka Soccer Star

(2) K-3 Within the boundaries of a city block, cheerful Madlenka dribbles a soccer ball. She outplays a dog, parking meter, and trashcan before meeting up with her friend. Sís cleverly fuses the ethnically diverse neighborhood with a fanciful scene of Madlenka playing soccer with children from around the world. In meticulously lined watercolors, the muted gray-blue cityscape is enlivened by pops of color.
