Ali was the leading heavyweight boxer of the 20th century and a charismatic, beloved public figure. His objection to the military draft during the Vietnam War made him an icon for a generation, and his impact in sports and the Civil Rights movement is still felt today. In this friendly, fun biography series (the inspiration of the PBS Kids TV show Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum), kids are encouraged to “dream big.” Each book includes: a timeline of key events in the hero’s history; photos that bring the story more fully to life; comic-book-style illustrations that are irresistibly adorable; childhood moments that influenced the hero; facts that make great conversation-starters; and a character trait that made the person heroic and that readers can aspire to. Must-have series.
