Join us for this special book talk as we discuss the Kids Reading Across RI 2021 Selection:
Becoming Muhammad Ali
by James Patterson and Kwame Alexander
"Before he was a household name, Cassius Clay was a kid with struggles like any other. Kwame Alexander and James Patterson join forces to vividly depict his life up to age seventeen in both prose and verse, including his childhood friends, struggles in school, the racism he faced, and his discovery of boxing. Readers will learn about Cassius’ family and neighbors in Louisville, Kentucky, and how, after a thief stole his bike, Cassius began training as an amateur boxer at age twelve. Before long, he won his first Golden Gloves bout and began his transformation into the unrivaled Muhammad Ali."
To register, visit the circulation desk, email Ms. Colleen at jamlibyouth@gmail.com, or give us a call at (401) 423-7280.
