Emily, Nic, and Tanner, three children with varying degrees of cerebral palsy, share their challenging, daily-life experiences. Readers follow the children as they attend school, play, and visit doctors and physical therapists.

Throughout, the children focus on what they can do and what they can learn to do while acknowledging that it's difficult when their bodies don't always respond. As Tanner says, "Kids with CP are always trying. We keep working to do as much as we can".
