As a young boy, Theodore "Teedie" Roosevelt was "[s]mall for his age, [and] he had weak eyes and frail muscles. Sickly lungs left him gasping." But Teedie was also inquisitive, brave, and self-sufficient. Determined to overcome his childhood ailments, Teedie changed from a "timid homebody" into an adventurous man. He explored the Wild West, fought in the Spanish-American War, served as president of the United States, and helped build the Panama Canal. Author's note. Bibliography. Illustrations rendered digitally, in pen and ink, and in watercolor.
