Becoming Muhammad Ali
Description
Told through a dynamic blend of prose and poetry, this middle-grade biography follows Cassius Clay from his childhood in Louisville to the early experiences that begin shaping the future Muhammad Ali. As he grows up with his family, navigates friendship and rivalry, and discovers boxing, Cassius develops the courage, confidence, and determination that will define his life. The story explores identity, family, ambition, racial injustice, and the power of finding one’s voice. Accessible and energetic, it brings the legendary athlete’s formative years vividly to life without losing sight of the boy behind the icon.
