Soccerverse: Poems About Soccer

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Edson Ikê. Twenty-two poems, ranging from humorous to imaginative to inspirational, make for a lively soccer-themed volume. "Saturday Morning," a haiku poem, is a pitch-perfect (pun intended) example: "the grass / trembles at our feet-- / game time." A final page briefly explains all thirteen poetic forms Steinglass employs. Young cleat-clad players have different skin colors and hairstyles in Ikê's digital illustrations.
