Book Description

7 and up3 and upTurning Point Books
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 had wonderful adventures with his brother and sister and even started a museum in his attic. But he also struggled with terrible asthma. Overcoming his illness was the major battle of his young life . . . and his determination to make himself strong and healthy set the course for his amazing accomplishments to come.
First in a planned series of picture storybooks about "turning points" in the lives of the young Presidents, this book is written by the in-comparable author of So You Want to Be President? and whimsically illustrated by Matthew Faulkner.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring!!, May 20, 2007
This review is from: You're On Your Way, Teddy Roosevelt: A Turning Point Book (Hardcover)
My son, who is in second grade was inspired by Teddy R. life as young boy. He identify with T. Roosevelt struggles and issues. It's was good that he could see that life sometimes is not perfect, but we can do the best we can, excelling in everything we do and overcome weakness. And perhaps one day became a President. That was a good message!!

This review is from: You're On Your Way, Teddy Roosevelt: A Turning Point Book (Hardcover)
The author did excellent research and captured the key elements of TR's young life. My daughter loved this book and she's read it again and again. And the illustrations are beautiful.
