The Floating Field: How a Group of Thai Boys Built Their Own Soccer Field

Synopsis

Many American kids take soccer fields for granted, but not everyone lives in an area with enough space for one. Consider Prasit and his friends, who lived on an island in Thailand and could only play soccer when the tide went out. They built their own floating field so that they could practice as often as they'd like. Decades later, it's been improved and maintained so new generations can enjoy it. Bonus material, like a list of handy Thai phrases, provide directions for future reading.
