Creole words (as spoken in St. Lucia, the author's birthplace island in the Caribbean) add spice to the story and are a strong reminder of the sport's world fame. Bright and brilliant illustrations by debut children's book illustrator Jacqueline Alcántara--winner of the We Need Diverse Books Illustration Mentorship Award--capture the grit and glory of the game and the beauty of the island setting where this particular field was inspired. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Soccer fan or not, the call of \u003ci\u003eThe Field \u003c\/i\u003eis irresistible.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBaptiste Paul is a children's picture book author.
