My husband's passion for soccer has turned our little family into soccer fans. My husband grew up playing soccer in the streets of Morocco, watching the World Cup, and dreaming of being a soccer player one day. My children's interest in soccer recently evolved because of the World Cup in Qatar. I'll never forget my kid's reaction when Morocco beat Spain during this World Cup.The kids jumped for joy and screamed in the living room. Then, the kids changed into their Moroccan soccer jerseys, grabbed their Moroccan flag, and paraded around our neighborhood. I was so happy to witness their joy. I did what every homeschooling mom does and got a ton of books about soccer. We've enjoyed reading them as a family.
