'Muhammad Ali' by Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara with illustrations by Brosmind is a board book for young readers about the famous fighter and all the things he fought for.
Born Cassius Clay, little Muhammad Ali had his bike stolen and wanted to fight the thief, but was directed towards boxing by a policeman. From there, the rest is history. His unwillingness to fight in Vietnam, and changing his name. To the big fights and how he kept fighting for people even after his career was over.
This is a really great series, but occasionally one volume rises above the rest for me. In this case, it's because of the really great art by Brosmind. The pictures are detailed and have a kind of pop art sensibility. I looked Brosmind up after reading this, and I was impressed by the work I saw. This book is also fun and another impressive addition to this series.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Quaro Publishing Group-Frances Lincoln Children's Books, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

I do not support trash talking during boxing or other martial sports. He sounds like a pretty cool dude, but I do not quite know how to feel about him. More about the book - the art looked very cartoony and simplistic, not a big fan of that.

Once again Little People Big Dreams provides a well-rounded biography that’s informative for both children and the adults reading to them. Ali was a complex man that made some controversial decisions during his time and I liked the way Sanchez Vegara presented them. I also enjoyed the illustrations of this one too.

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.

Well the series that keeps on giving gave us a book that is a great overview of Ali's life.
It touched on most of the important themes, avoiding his Parkinson's from brain damage due to the stupidity of boxing, but it was a great introduction to Ali's life/

A simple biography of a complex man. Well told and accessible for young readers. The illustrations are a bit cartoonist. I wish it had covered his brave battle with Parkinson's Disease.

This is a terrific series, and the story of Clay/Ali is one worth telling. I love the illustrations. The section on Ali's name change is sort of weak, but overall this is a great book.

It's a well written picture book that gives insight into who Muhammad Ali was. It's easy to understand for kids and I loved the illustrations and the vibrant colours. It's the first book I've read in the "Little People, Big Dreams" series, but I'm sure I'll read more of them.

I just reviewed [b:David Attenborough (40)|47771969|David Attenborough (40) (Little People, BIG DREAMS)|Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1565727569l/47771969._SX50_.jpg|71177633] and raved about its cute illustrations and feel repetitive as I rave about the illustrations in this one which are vibrant and cool.
