We love introducing you to people who support and motivate kids to reach for their dreams.  Award-winning children's book author Clare Hodgson Meeker has a new book that encourages kids to shoot for the stars called "Soccer Dreams: Playing the Seattle Sounders FC Way".  The book was inspired by two local teens and includes real-life stories from Sounders players and Coach Sigi Schmidt.

Clare will be signing books at the Qwest Field Pro Shop during the pre-game Soccer Celebration on Sunday, June 26.  A portion of all book sales will go to the Sounders FC Youth Soccer Camps scholarship fund.

Sounders FC is also hosting a children's book drive on July 16 at the stadium.  Go to www.soundersfc.com for more details.
