White Teddy was also having a problem with the Big Red Ball that kept bouncing into his life every time he thought back to the fun, laughter and adventures he had had with the little boy he used to belong to. The Big Red Ball was making him very, very sad, so he stopped remembering.

Imagine stepping outside your front door early one morning and finding that the world around you has changed. The familiar neighborhood has vanished. Where your neighbors’ houses once stood, rugged cliffs rise, their faces dotted with dark caves. A few of the cave mouths flicker with a soft amber glow.
The tarmacked road has melted away, replaced by a wide, lazy lake that laps gently at the shore. The chaotic street sounds have disappeared, replaced by a whispering breeze that playfully teases the leaves of the sturdy, ancient trees, as if telling them that change is in the air. A pale sun peeks shyly through a crooked gap in the rock face opposite.
Suddenly, movement in one of the shadowy caves catches your attention. A timid, slight figure emerges, glancing furtively around. It is a Wild Child.
Will you be brave enough to follow her? To become her unseen, silent companion as she takes her first steps away from familiar routines and comforts into a wider, wilder world of danger, challenge, and misadventure?
This is the beginning of her journey from childhood to young adulthood. Will you choose to walk beside her?
