(2) K-3 Illustrated by Edel Rodriguez. The text, more impressionistic than informational, touches on young Cassius Clay's belief in a "colored Superman" and his questions about whether heaven is segregated, then zips through career highlights and personal challenges. The spare, lyrical prose and appealing mixed-media illustrations celebrate the perseverance, generosity, and humanity of this "hero for all time." An appended chronology fills in factual gaps. Bib.
