Becoming Muhammad Ali by Kwame Alexander, James Patterson
5.0
Do you know how Cassius Clay became Muhammad Ali?
In Becoming Muhammad Ali, young Ali and his best friend Lucky take turns telling the story about how one of the greatest boxers in the world came to be.
One of my former students is a boxer and would LOVE this book. I'm emailing his parents tomorrow morning lol!
Although this book takes us back to the 50s, Ali's childhood experiences are easily relatable to kids today.
Also included are moments in history like the murder of Emmitt Till and the integration of schools.
We also learn how Ali struggled in school because he was dyslexic.
Becoming Muhammad Ali is written in prose and verse. It was fitting that Ali's voice is written as poetry, making his voice stand out.
