The president of the United States is able to make a very big difference-not just in the country they serve, but also around the world. They sign bills into law; appoint, or name, people to serve in government positions; and meet with other world leaders to fix problems and build a better future. On January 20, 2021, Joseph R. Biden Jr. took on these responsibilities and more when he became the 46th president of the United States. Joe's journey to the White House was long and sometimes hard, but he never gave up. He kept going and learned important lessons along the way.

So how did each of them do it-rise to become President of the United States? What did these four kids have individually-and have in common-that made them the ones to lead the country through some of its most turbulent times?"--.
