Tommy is your everyday little boy -- he loves to run and jump, chase his friends and his dog, Nugget, and compete in track and field with his classmates. But Tommy is different from many of his friends: he was born with dwarfism. Tommy is looking forward to competing at the elementary school sports day. He dreams of winning first place, but in spite of his hard work, he comes in dead last. That is when he meets his best friend, Willow. She is a little person too. Tommy and Willow join the track and field team and begin to train for the Dwarf Athletics World Games in Germany. The day comes when Tommy and Willow travel to the games, where they meet other little people from many countries.

As the events of the World Games lead up to the big race, Tommy and Willow, surrounded by their families and new friends, enjoy the excitement of the event. On the adventure of a lifetime, Tommy's dreams and hard work are met with success.
