(3) K-3 Illustrated by Eric Velasquez. Plainspoken, economical prose traces the boxer's life from his Kentucky childhood and early amateur career, through the years he spent as heavyweight champion. Haskins's text also ably portrays Ali's personal and spiritual journeys, while Velasquez's page-dominating oil paintings offer pleasing stylistic variation, from montages and action panel sequences to double-page spreads. This new edition features a timeline updated with Ali's death in 2016.
