🅰 Football

“Daddy, does God play football?” At first, the preoccupied grown-up doesn’t take his little boys question seriously, but as he gradually enters the game, he toys with the idea: how would it be if God really did play football, and joined the Hungarian national side? At the end of the story the writer asks Him whether, once amongst us, He could go beyond helping the hapless team, and stand just behind us and place your hand on our shoulders.

Together with a brand-new, re-illustrated series of Ervin Lázárs classic collections of stories and children’s fiction, Móra Publishing House is launching a series of picture books, of which Football, with the delightful collages of Csilla Kőszeghy, is the first volume.
