My favorite book as a kid was "Go for the Goal" by Mia Hamm. Love seeing Alex Morgan write and inspire kids today!

Adding that to my daughter's suggested reads list! Thanks for the recommendation.

This is such a great idea, and letting the girls sign each other copies makes it really special too. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for reading and commenting. It was such a great idea a friend gave me that I thought it was worth sharing for others to use too— different ways to get kids excited about books!

Thank you, Tracey, for inspiring me to write up the story in the first place!

Great post to kick off the FIFA World Cup! 🙌🏽 I love that you coached and connected reading with Alex Morgan’s The Kicks series (I had no idea she wrote these!)

So happy my library has them too. My daughter will love them. Thanks for sharing. 💛

I hope she enjoys the series! I’m looking forward to reading them myself.

Yes, I think she will. 😊 I was just looking up which one is the first book so we know where to start. :)

I'm hoping it's the one in the picture because that's the one we give as gifts! :)
