Follow Ted, a Toys for Tots toy, as he travels from the store shelves to his final destination . . . . where he becomes a special gift to a child on Christmas morning. One Christmas in 1947, Diane Hendricks, wife of Major Bill Hendricks, USMCR, made a doll and wanted her husband to go out and give the toy to an organization designed to help children in need. When he explained to her that no such organization existed, she demanded that they start one. In 1948, the proud tradition of Marines bringing toys to children in need on Christmas evolved into what is now known as Toys for Tots.

A Wall Street Journal Best Children’s Book of the Year A Bank Street College of Education Best Children’s Book of the Year A Junior Library Guild Selection "A timeless story of adventure and friendship to treasure aloud or independently.

Maddie Kurtz wrote this heart-warming story when she was 10-years old. It is the true story of Bonnie, a 13-year-old girl in New Jersey, who had a small Santa Claus toy that got lost and then miraculously turned up in Tennessee - the state that she now lives in, 40 years later. It is also the imagined story of the journey that toy took from New Jersey to Thailand to Russia to Tennessee, and all the people's lives it touched in that 40-year journey. And in the end, it's all about love.
