U.S. Men's Soccer's Captain America, Christian Pulisic, tells a story of focus, determination, and most of all, confidence--all the soccer superpowers you need! Just in time for the 2026 World Cup!

Christian loves to play soccer. The whoosh of the wind, the bounce of the ball, the ripple of the net—he can hardly wait to join a team! But when the kids on the field all seem bigger and stronger than he is, Christian is suddenly afraid. What if he’s not good enough to play? Will his greatest dream turn out to be his worst nightmare? Or will he find a way to win the day by using the most important soccer superpower of them all?

US Men’s National Soccer Team star Christian Pulisic delivers a fast-footed and fun story about believing in yourself and making your dreams come true.
Christian Pulisic is one of the greatest North American soccer players of all time. A winger for the U.S. Men's National Soccer Team (which has earned him the nickname Captain America), he is a recognized talent within the sport, and the trajectory of his success only continues to rise. He is not only a game changer on the field; Christian’s dedication extends off the field as a role model for the next generation of superathletes and sports lovers. In 2023, he partnered with Puma to launch the Christian Pulisic Legacy Program, an initiative aimed at giving underserved children access to the sport. Christian splits his time between Europe and the US. You can follow Christian Pulisic on Instagram @CMPulisic.

Marta Kissi has illustrated several beloved series, including the Fairy Mom and Me series by Sophie Kinsella and The Breakfast Club Adventures by Marcus Rashford, as well as Alice Paul Tapper’s debut picture book, Raise Your Hand, and Josh Gad's PictureFace Lizzy. Her favorite part of being an illustrator is bringing stories to life by designing charming characters and the wonderful worlds in which they live. Originally from Warsaw, Poland, Marta now lives in Bath, England, with her husband, James, and their son, Ollie. You can visit Marta Kissi at MartaKissi.com or follow her on Instagram @KissiKissi_Illustration.
