getting a copy of the book "Soul of a Butterfly: Reflections on Life's Journey," by his daughter Hana. It contains stories that Ali was telling her, that he considered important. My impression is that each of his children knew him in a unique manner, and Hana really captured such an important side of the Champ. (Back in 2004 when it came out, it made a great holiday present for my nephews!)
