After a 10-year-old boy is stricken with polio, he must wear braces on
his legs and walks with a limp. He becomes sad and depressed because he
can no longer participate in the activities that used to bring him joy.
On top of that, bullies pick on him and make fun of him because of his
disability. But when the boy learns that Franklin Delano Roosevelt also
has polio and yet he is running for president, the boy is inspired to
stand up to the bullies and run for student government.
