Another inspiring story of a great personality in world history will be read from this addition to the Little People, Big Dreams book series. I'm not a fan of boxing or any sports in particular, and although I know who Muhammad Ali is, I never knew his life story. Thanks to this little book, I was able to have a brief story of who this phenomenal icon is.

Young readers, in particular, will be inspired by how Muhammad Ali's dedication to being the best has paid off in the end. His courage for speaking up for what he believed is right and helping others is a great example or role model for young kids to follow. Lastly, the vibrant and illustrations drawn by Brosmind are also eye-catching and quite interesting to look into, which I think will be very appealing to kids.

I am constantly marveled at the consistent and divine pleasure of these annotated biographies with amazing illustrations. This is another gem in the "Little People, Big World" series!

So entertaining, colourful and just a pleasure to read. Great introduction for kids to real heroes of life, doesn’t focus on just the legend of the man but his life and beliefs. A great book and series.


Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

This series is always a joy to read, it’s a really nice introduction to well known people for little children. Of course the plot is always a little bit fast but that’s to be expected and it’s totally understandable.
This volume in particular focuses on Muhammad Ali, the famous boxer. This book shows all the effort this man put into his training, but it also gives us a glimpse into his life and beliefs which is something I truly appreciated.

Uplifting ~ Humorous ~ Attractive
tl; dr: as mohammad ali said, "one day, I'm going to be the greatest.

This picture book has Sanchez Vegara's wonderful prose with Brosmind's adorable graphic illustrations. There is one spread that is particularly A+: where Ali's heavyweight belts are hung on the wall with pictures and posters. It is so rich, and the text steps back to let the image shine. Sanchez Vegara is a wonderful writer. I will be buying a few in this series.

Thank to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Not only is this a beautifully illustrated biography of the amazing Cassius Clay from his humble beginnings to his greatest triumphs, its an educational look into how society looked at people of colour, how war impacted upon people who believe in peace and into religion and the motivation for conversion.
There is such a wealth of information within the pages of this book and will prompt many questions from inspired minds.
Another perfect addition to the Little People Big Dreams collection.
