Originally published on my blog: Nonstop Reader.
My First Muhammad Ali is a new biography for the youngest babies to toddlers in the Little People, Big Dreams series. I've reviewed a number of these titles and all of them are delightful and exuberant little books which cover the lives of famous cultural, science, arts, and innovation icons while maintaining an age-appropriate level of detail. Due out 4th Feb 2020 from Quarto on their Frances Lincoln Childrens imprint, it'll be 32 pages and will be available in boardbook format.
Written by Isabel Sánchez Vegara it's well written in clear accessible language. The gentle and sweetly humorous slightly cartoonish illustrations are brightly colored and well done. The art by Brosmind is appealing and colorful and supports the text well. The illustrations are rich in small details which invite a closer look.
Well written and appealing, I am really enjoying all of these little books. This one is a worthy addition. It would make a lovely read-along for even the youngest babies. The boardbook format is sturdy and robust enough for babies to toddlers.
Five stars.

I use to love these books and thought they were such a good idea to get children interested in prominent figures.
But they are so short now and do not offer anything that would grab a child attention or interest.
I'm starting to feel let down by these books.

I received an ARC of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review
I love the picture books that Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara does. They are perfect for little children.
This one is a board book that introduces the little readers to the incredible life of the famous boxer Muhammad Ali
It is written in simple sentences, which are perfect for the little ones and it offers them inspiring messages.
I love how quirky the illustrations are.

Every time a new Little People, Big Dreams book comes out I just have to check it out.
Thank you Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Muhammad Ali was a fascinating man and this child friendly version was beautifully illustrated and written. Showing how he came from humble beginnings and rose up to speak out against injustice. I couldn’t get enough of the colors and the drawings. They were so lovely.
Another wonderful edition!

Perfect gift for the children in your life! Gorgeous illustrations and a story which doesn't shy away from the difficult parts of his life. I thought it was really important they included his actions relating to the Vietnam war in an age appropriate way.

This was a nice introduction to Muhammad Ali. It is both a timeline, but also information that could get a child interested in learning more. One thing this book really has going for it is the illustrations. They are much different than most of the books in the Little People Big Dreams series. They are more cartoonish, almost “Simpson”-ish, with bubble people and bright colors. It really stood out.
