Sergio wants to play soccer but he's not very good. When his mother suggests he tries being the goalie, Sergio finds his groove and saves the game. Adult readers will appreciate a bit of dark humor when Sergio's dad is seen reading a newspaper that says "Global Warming: The Good News!" while preschool children will find fun in Sergio's mission to be a hero. A unique illustration style and palette make this picture book a fun read, though perhaps a little slow for less patient audiences.

I love this little penguin, he sort of reminds me of me when I was playing soccer at a young age. I wasn't all that great at it, but I could run and I was small so I made for a great defender.
It's super cute though, and great for those little ones with an interest in sports.
