About The Book

Only the brave answer the call.

The Keepers’ Call was written as an ode to the journey of millions of goalkeepers around the world. Written from inside the position in a beautiful poetic style, it follows a young goalkeeper learning that courage can mean standing still when everyone else is prepared to move. Embracing the highs, lows, and funniest moments of a goalkeeper’s life, every illustration was drawn by hand. Each page represents a feeling or moment that every goalkeeper has, or will, experience. A signed copy was sold at auction to contribute to life-saving treatments for a child - a moment that reminded us why stories matter.
