Share the Ball, Milo!: a soccer story about sharing

By Alan Hart

Milo loves soccer. More than the kick and the run and the roar of the crowd, Milo loves GOALS. But every time he gets the ball, he shouts one word: "MINE " When Milo hogs the ball in the big game and the Little Lightning lose their moment, his best friend Mia - the bravest goalie in the league - helps him discover that a perfect pass beats a solo shot every time.

Share the Ball, Milo is a warm, funny read-aloud picture book for ages 3-6 about learning to share on the soccer field. Little listeners will shout along with the refrain - "SHARE THE BALL, MILO " - and cheer the moment Milo's "MINE " becomes the team's "OURS "

Meet Milo, a six-year-old striker with springy curls, red cleats, and a very big heart, and Mia, a six-year-old Latina goalie with two long braids who never lets anything past her. With bold, sunny illustrations, a chantable refrain kids love to yell back, and a gentle landing that never lectures, this is a story families will read again and again.

Every Milo & Mia book closes with the team's pledge and "Talk About It" conversation starters, making it a natural fit for bedtime, preschool classrooms, and gift-giving. Book 1 of the five-book Milo & Mia series - sharing, honesty, teamwork, sportsmanship, and the joy of play. Collect them all
