Summary

This story is about African-American boxer Muhammad Ali in this accessible picture book biography for young kids. Born in Kentucky, USA, in 1942, Ali started learning boxing aged 12 and went on to become an Olympic gold medallist and renowned heavyweight boxing champion. [1]

When he was little, Muhammad Ali had his bicycle stolen. He wanted to fight the thief, but a cop told him him to learn how to box first. After training tough in the gym, Muhammad gained a strong jab and an even stronger work ethic. His smart thinking and talking earned him the greatest title in boxing: Heavyweight Champion of the World. This moving book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back. [2]

Pros

This empowering best-selling series of books and educational games that explore outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists and activists, is truly exceptional. All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child with a dream. This book is highly recommended for all the children in the world. [3]

The bold cover of this book showed a hero athlete drawn in simple line and block colours style, posing ready for a fight. This perfect bound book packs a punch with it bright and vibrant end papers – POW! BAM! and OUCH!

The quirky line work is loose, curvaceous with balletic compositions. Brosmind’s work adds a playful take on this subject with changes of scale, bold expressions and Ali metamorphosing into Butterfly and Bee. This is a typical book that would make the readers fall in love with the story. [4]
