How to find your voice and make a difference

Here is another book that I have enjoyed reading. This time it was with a young footballer. Together we learned so much from this book, thanks especially to the way it encouraged discussion about the ideas being suggested.

This is the first Marcus Rashford book I have read, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for books that might interest children whose main enthusiasm is football. The content is told from Marcus Rashford’s point of view, highlighting lessons he’s learned on his journey to becoming one of England’s greatest strikers. The other insights in it are around how to develop your voice off the football pitch. It is written with respect and understanding, both of the challenges faced by those caught in less affluent parts of society, and of the value of support given, particularly around food.

The writing is clear, and there are black and white graphics on every page to help break up the text.

(The book is a Macmillan Children’s Book, published in 2022)
