Mariam Plays Ball: A Football Dream That Defies the Odds
In the lively streets of Abidjan, Mariam, a young girl full of hope, dreams of becoming a football star. But in her “gloglo” neighborhood, prejudice runs deep and girls’ football is far from encouraged. Against all odds, Mariam will do everything she can to make her dream come true and lift her family out of poverty. This moving and inspiring comic book takes us to the heart of the life of a determined young Ivorian girl, set on overcoming obstacles and forging her own path. A story that celebrates friendship, perseverance and strength of spirit with a touch of humor, and that will make you want to believe in your dreams, whatever they may be.
This volume brings together the four episodes of the story, subtitled “La nouvelle légende du Maracana” (The New Legend of the Maracanã): Mariam’s adventure can be read in one go, with no need to look for the rest elsewhere.
