Here’s a sanitized version of the provided YouTube transcript:

[Music] At a very young age, Pelé dazzled crowds with his soccer talents. [Music] [Music] Pelé joined his first professional soccer team when he was only 15 years old. [Music] The football professional. [Music] A year later, he followed his heart to play for his country’s national team.

Um, [Music] so [Music] if you don’t have books, what are you waiting for? It’s a kid-safe, ad-free library full of storybooks brought to life. My favorite story on Books is “The Unicorn and Horse” because the horse feels like he’s, well, not beautiful, but he actually is. I’m going to explore more on Books, and you should too! Don’t wait around—ask your grown-up and start exploring more fun stories like these. You’ll be glad you did.

This version maintains the essence of the original transcript while ensuring clarity and coherence.
