Description: From the opening kickoff to the final goal, a young girl says goodnight to her most beloved sport: soccer. With delightful, rhyming text and energetic art, this book captures the thrill and excitement of the world's most popular sport. Full color.
Brief description: Christina Forshay was born and raised in sunny California, where she lives with her amazing husband and the two cutest kids in the world! Of course, as a child she could be found drawing, coloring and admiring her grand collection of crayons. Christina is proud and grateful to be able to work as an illustrator for the children's market. Seriously, what could be more fun?!?
Review Quotes: The text, written in rhymed couplets, reads aloud smoothly, and the digital artwork captures sports action and bedtimes with equal facility. In 2018, it's not surprising that the picture-book illustrations feature an apparently Hispanic family and include racially diverse crowds and athletes. But while in Dahl and Forshay's Goodnight Baseball (2013), Goodnight Football (2014), and Goodnight Hockey (2015) the athletes are men, the current book shows two women's teams competing in a packed stadium. Nicely played.-- "Booklist Online"
