Jimmy the Greatest! /pdf

Bag om Jimmy the Greatest! /pdf

Jimmy lives in a small Caribbean town where there''s not a whole lot to do. Fortunately though, there is a boxing gym, and one day the owner, Don Apolinar, suggests that Jimmy start training. He also gives Jimmy a cardboard box full of books and newspaper clippings all about Muhammad Ali. Jimmy reads and re-reads as he never has before. He is swept with admiration for Ali who said, "I am the greatest. I said that even before I knew I was." He starts to feel good, realizing that he doesn''t need to have a lot of fancy stuff, that he''s a pretty good boxer himself, and that he can look forward to the future. But by the time Don Apolinar has to leave for the big city, Jimmy realizes that he can have a great life running the gym, creating a library, dancing and boxing . . . right where he is. Jairo Buitrago''s simple yet inspiring story is complemented by Rafael Yockteng''s funny, expressive illustrations, making this a book that will speak to many young readers. The Spanish edition, ¡Jimmy, el más grande!, was recently named one of "Los mejores libros del año" (Best Books of the Year) by Venezuela''s Banco del Libro.
