He started wearing eyeglasses like Teddy he spoke like Teddy and he held the same public offices as Teddy. But then one day his life changedhe got sick. He developed polio and he could no longer walk. But Franklin also had Teddys determination so after physical therapy and hard work he ran for governor of New York and won. Then a different kind of sickness the Great Depression spread across the country: Banks were closing and thousands lost their jobs. Franklin said that if you have a problem solve it. If one solution doesnt work try another but above all TRY SOMETHING. So Franklin ran for president and on Inauguration Day he made it clear that together they would conquer this sickness. He got to work creating jobs and slowly America started getting better. Suzanne Tripp Jurmain and Larry Day of George Did It and Worst of Friends fame are teamed up again to tell the story of how our only disabled president saved himself and then saved the country.
