"A delightful story inspired by and dedicated to The First Lady (Michelle Obama's) Lets Move obesity campaign." The story is about an obese kid who is good at sports but is always picked last or never picked at all because of his obesity. A popular kid named Lee befriends the obese student and even defends him when other students bully him. The book teaches tolerance and the importance of being a good friend. The back of the book teaches students that fighting obesity is quite easy. Toward the end of the story the obese kid wants to be more like his friend Lee but not because he is popular or funny. Instead he says, "If I could be anything in this world...I would like to be as friendly as my friend Lee, because unlike the others Lee was able to look past my obesity and see the real me.
