In this book from the bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of Pelé, Brazil's all-time King of Football.

This inspiring book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of The King's life.
