Before Teddy Roosevelt became famous as a statesman, naturalist, colonel in the Spanish-American War, and as the twenty-sixth president of the United States, he was a young boy called Teedie. Teedie had wonderful adventures with his brother and sister and even started a natural science museum in his attic.
But Teedie also struggled with asthma and other illnesses. Overcoming those illnesses was the major battle of his young life... and his determination to make himself strong and healthy proved to be a turning point for him, setting the course for his amazing accomplishments to come.
First in a series of original picture storybooks about "turning points" in the young lives of the presidents, You're on Your Way, Teddy Roosevelt is written by Judith St. George, the award winning author of So You Want to Be President?, and handsomely illustrated by Matt Faulkner.
