Soccer is a fall sport for both school age children around here. It’s very common to see younger siblings sitting on the sidelines, watching with great interest as their older brothers and sisters play the sport. As the seasons change and it gets darker sooner kids will have a little more time indoors. Here are three children’s books from Candlewick Press on soccer that should help occupy that time.
