In a delightfully illustrated book, "May May" Ali, the eldest of nine siblings, celebrates her father's life and underscores all the reasons why he is "The Greatest." She describes Ali's dedication, graciousness, humor humor, according to ancient theory, any of four bodily fluids that determined man's health and temperament. Hippocrates postulated that an imbalance among the humors (blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile) resulted in pain and disease, and that good health was  and perseverance.

Patrick Johnson's charming illustrations provide a seamless complement to a text that young readers will thoroughly enjoy.

This is a wonderful introduction for children about the life of a legendary man.
