Mina vs. the Monsoon by Rukhsanna Guidroz
5.0

Age: Preschool-1st grade
Family: Daughter and mother
Location: Bihar or Jharkhand states of India
Sports: Soccer

A monsoon will not dampen Mina's persistent desire to play soccer, as she tries different ways to thwart the heavy rainfall. When the rainfall slows, Mina and her mother share a sweet moment together as they play soccer in the mud.

Soccer books are always welcome but this goes above and beyond with an excellent story, a child sharing the same passion as their parent, and it being a mother/daughter duo, nonetheless.
