review:
'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.
