Book Description
Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee in this inspiring biographical guide to the life of boxer Muhammad Ali.
Product Description.
From the moment a fired-up teenager won 1960 Olympic gold to the day when a retired legend, hands shaking from Parkinson’s, returned to raise the Olympic torch, the boxer known as ‘The Greatest’ waged many a fight.
Some were in the ring, against opponents like Sonny Liston and Joe Frazier; others were against societal prejudice and a war he refused to support because of his Islamic faith.
The rap-inspired verse weaves and bobs and jabs, while bold collage artwork matches every move – capturing the ‘Louisville loudmouth with the great gift of rhyme’ who shed the name Cassius Clay to take on the world as Muhammad Ali.
