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\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nancy Paulsen Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781524739881\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jabari Asim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42303956320437,"sku":"9781524739881","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_2b5dfe3a-4ab0-4388-9193-b29250678a34.jpg?v=1658843898","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/me-and-muhammad-ali-9781524739881","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
