A biography of the 26th President’s childhood years!
Before Teddy Roosevelt became famous as a statesman, naturalist, colonel in the Spanish-American War, and twenty-sixth president of the United States, he was a young boy called “Teedie” who struggled with terrible asthma. Overcoming his illness was a major battle in Teedie’s young life and his determination to make himself strong and healthy set the course for his amazing accomplishments to come.
"The book provides a salient introduction to the boy who would become a colorful president. A final note sketches Roosevelt's adult years. A solid choice for independent readers or for sharing aloud with children."
—School Library Journal

Judith St. George has published dozens of successful nonfiction books for children, including the Caldecott Medal-winning So You Want to Be President? and the historical Turning Point series, including You’re On Your Way, Teddy Roosevelt; Stand Tall, Abe Lincoln; and Take the Lead, George Washington. You can visit her online at www.judithstgeorge.com.
Gr. 2-4. In You're on Your Way, Teddy Roosevelt, the first in the new Turning Point Book series, St. George marshals the same lively spirit she used in her Caldecott Medal winner So You Want to Be President? (2000) to tell the story of "Teedie" Roosevelt's childhood. Faulkner's cartoon-style illustrations present the history and the characters from the young boy's viewpoint as St. George describes Roosevelt's triumph over debilitating asthma and his success as an athlete and student. St. George never minimizes Roosevelt's struggle; one particularly memorable picture shows the bespectacled, awkward city weakling being harassed by country bullies. The truth about failure will appeal to kids as much as the gentle message about determination and achievement. Hazel Rochman
