The Journey of Benny the Button — Jim Thomas

This book was inspired by the author's son, James. Benny the Button is the story about a button that gets lost by accident and is later found, but not until he goes on a journey that only a button can describe. I am sure many of you wonder where that button you noticed missing from your shirt or pants, or maybe a coat, went. Do they just vanish? When the author's son was four years old, he had the most difficult time when it came time to dressing himself. Buttoning his shirts, pants, and coats was a challenge. His challenges and accomplishments were interesting to watch. Much like the character in Benny the Button he had a favorite shirt and loved the buttons on it. His experience with the buttons on this particular shirt started the journey to write this book.
