Eleven-year-old Solomon loves to run; he dreams that one day he will be a gold-medal-winning athlete, in spite of his ragged shorts and bare feet.

When his grandfather announces that he''s going to take Solomon to Ethiopia''s capital, Addis Ababa, Solomon cannot believe his ears. And he is even more excited to hear that the Ethiopian running team will be doing a victory parade through the city that day!

But then Soloman''s grandfather collapses and Solomon knows that getting help from his village is up to him. It''s a twenty-mile run from the city to home, and his grandfather''s life hangs in the balance. Can the small, bare-footed runner with the big heart make the journey?
