After all, Ali is the greatest for so many reasons--his speed, his strength, his confidence--and his poetry. Langston loves that Ali can \u003ci\u003efloat like a butterfly and sting like a bee\u003c\/i\u003e, and Ali's words give him confidence to spin his own poems. When Langston hears the champ is coming to the local high school, he's ecstatic--this will be a day that will go down in history for him. When the big day arrives, Langston gets a special haircut, and floats like a butterfly to meet his hero--so imagine his disappointment when a guard tries to stop him at the door, saying the event is just for students. Fortunately, Langston has learned a thing or two about fearlessness from the champ and is quick about not taking \"no\" for an answer. And just like that, a dream comes true for Langston that leaves him feeling wrapped in a warm glow and chanting \u003ci\u003eI'm quick and I'm strong. I'm Black and I'm free. I'm brave and I'm bold, like Muhammad Ali!\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jabari Asim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 152473988X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781524739881\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nancy Paulsen Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 8.20w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2022 pg. 95\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2022 pg. 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/03\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2022 pg. 59\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2022 - Superior,Well Above Average","brand":"Jabari Asim","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44068448174335,"sku":"9781524739881","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e43df9c3-3d7a-490c-9e0b-0e9b6a3d9b21.jpg?v=1685419060","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/me-and-muhammad-ali-jabari-asim-9781524739881","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
