For years, Charlie has dreamed of running in the Grassland Fair and Games. But when Charlie’s lungs begin to whistle and squeak, she worries she won’t be able to run at all.
After visiting Doctor Wilde and learning that she has asthma, Charlie realizes that her asthma is part of what makes her unique, and she returns to the savanna, inhaler in hand, more determined than ever to run the big race.
