Before she was the Matildas World Cup superstar goalkeeper, Lydia Williams was a young girl with a big dream.

In this delightful picture book, Little Lydia and her new friends all strive to be their best AND work together as a team. A wonderful picture book about the joy and friendships to be found in sport, written by the star goalkeeper for the Matildas.

Little Lydia moves from the desert to the big city. Leaving her animal friends behind is hard - but before long she's meeting new ones at the zoo.

At first she can't keep up with Tiger, Bear and Gibbon - their skills are amazing. But soon Lydia discovers that learning from others is the best way to improve AND have fun.

A joyous and triumphant picture book about friendship, sport, and teamwork by Lydia Williams, goalkeeper for the Australian Matildas.

About the Author

Lydia Williams is an Indigenous Australian soccer player. She grew up on the red dirt of Western Australia. During her childhood she travelled with her family to many Aboriginal communities where she learnt how to play sport with bare feet. Her family taught her how to live off the land and the values of Indigenous culture; they even had two pet kangaroos.

When her family moved to Canberra, Lydia started playing soccer competitively as a way to make friends. Having played soccer for nearly twenty years, Lydia currently plays for Brighton in the UK and is the long-standing goalkeeper of the Australian Matildas.
