Sophie has a soccer game, but she would rather play with her doll. Find out what happens when Sophie refuses to play along.
One of the funnest parts of writing these stories is trying to perfect the dialogue. Here are two of our favourite passages from the story. First, Dad offers some not so helpful advice if you want to be a princess: "These days it’s even more important to play soccer. Today’s princes spend almost all their time and money on soccer. That and Arabian stallions. You may be the most charming princess in the world, but if you don’t know important things, like how much it costs to buy a soccer player, you’ll never marry a prince.”
Then there's Mrs. Dash, Sophie's coach, who does her best to inspire her young charges: “Now listen up, children. I know we don’t always score a lot of goals, and we hardly ever win. In fact, we never win. But that’s not important. We’re here just to have fun. So let’s have fun, and make sure you pass the ball. Are you listening, Sophie? Okay, do we all remember our cheer?” Isn't this what a lot of coaches sound like?
Of course, parents may insist they know what's right, but kids always know better.
Or do they? Hope you enjoy the story.
