I recently read Teddy’s Button by Amy Le Fouvre. What a sweet story! Teddy, a young boy, has one aspiration: to be a soldier. His father was a soldier who died in battle, and Teddy has the button from his uniform. Teddy loves to tell others the story of the button which earns him the name “Button-Boy.” Teddy discovers he doesn’t have to be a grown boy before he can fight in battle - he can enlist in God’s army. He finds he fights a real battle against the Enemy. When a military regiment comes to town, Teddy helps organize a gathering for the soldiers and implores them to enlist in God’s army. In a harrowing experience, Teddy loses his prized button, but regains it through quite a display of Providence. Teddy’s pure childlike faith is sweet and refreshing. It was a quick read and I highly recommend it. My brothers, ages 11 and 8 absolutely loved the book as well. As a plus, it’s free on Kindle. Here’s the link.
Happy reading!
