Born with disabilities in 1938, not expected to survive childhood, Teddy is a victim of the mocking intolerance of Mid-Twentieth-Century America. The kindest thing we can do for this child, his parents are told, is to let the state take him. As Teddy, his parents, young sister and the family doctor struggle with Teddy's world, they reveal their private turmoil -and we begin to understand them.
Teddy's private world is colourful, bright, innocent. But the real world harbours a menacing darkness: the Bad Thing ever-ready to leap out and terrorize Teddy and every person like him. Teddy must overcome his terror, confront and defeat the Bad Thing. Can he do it?
Teddy's World is a tale of love, strength, and perseverance; of a family confronting a world hostile to those who are different. It is a tale through time, moving to its surprising finale.
