A powerful portrait of perhaps
the greatest athlete of our time.
Muhammad Ali:
Champion of the World
JONAH WINTER
ILLUSTRATED BY FRANÇOIS ROCA
IN THE HISTORY OF LEGENDARY BOXERS, there was Joe Louis and Sonny
Liston . . . and then, “the heavens opened up, and there appeared a great
man descending on a cloud, jump-roping into the Kingdom of Boxing. And
he was called Cassius Clay.” Clay let everyone know that he was the greatest
boxer in the world. He converted to the Nation of Islam, refused to be
drafted into a war in which he didn’t believe, and boxed his way back to the
top after being stripped of his title. The man that came to be known as
Muhammad Ali was heard in a voice no one will ever forget.
Jonah Winter is the author of many acclaimed picture books, including Dizzy,
about Dizzy Gillespie; Diego, a biography of Diego Rivera; Frida, about artist
Fried Kahlo, which was a Parents’ Choice Gold Medal winner; and The 39
Apartments of Ludwig Van Beethoven. He lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
François Roca is the illustrator of several books, including Twenty-One
Elephants and Still Standing by April Prince Jones. He lives in Paris.
