Teddy's Button tells the story of a little boy who wants to be a soldier like his father. Teddy's most prized possession, a button from his father's uniform, and the tale that goes with it, is all he has besides his sweet mother and stern grandmother. His price and inclination for mischief create a conflict when he is introduced to the Captain of our souls. You will be inspired and challenged to be the soldier we all need to be.

Teddy's Button is a heartwarming story by Amy LeFeuvre which has entertained countless children and adults over the years. This reprint contains the three original illustrations appended to the first edition. We join the title character, who is a proud and strong-willed young boy. Openly gregarious, Teddy is a natural storyteller and makes friends in his locality thanks to this talent. His favorite tale of all however is one which concerns his father: a brave soldier who fought and died in battle when Teddy was very young. Proud of his father's bravery, Teddy carries a button from the very jacket his Dad fought in. Eventually Teddy begins to attend church, where he steadily realizes that the finest captain of all is not of the military, but of the Lord. Gradually, Teddy's belief in Jesus Christ strengthens; he realizes that his assertive nature could well verge on bullying, and that by serving God he can extinguish his capacity for bad deeds.

'And that's the story of my button,' pursued the boy, ignoring with scorn this last remark. 'And did your father have only one button to his coat?' The voice was a strange one, and the boys turned round to meet the curious gaze of a sturdy little damsel, who had, unnoticed, joined the group. She was not dressed as an ordinary village child, but in a little rough serge sailor suit, with a large hat to match, set well back on a quantity of loose dark hair. A rosy-cheeked square-set little figure she was, and her brown eyes, fringed with long black lashes, looked straight at Teddy with something of defiance and scorn in their glance. Though at first a little taken aback, Teddy rose to the occasion.
