Teddy and the Case of the Missing Biscuits : Learning about forgiveness and resilience

by Andrew Hunt

In the heart of the Australian outback, Brave Teddy is a dreamer and master digger with plans to win the Golden Gumleaf Award and share his joy with his bush mates. But when his jealous cousins—Dusty, Dingo, and Dee—betray him and send him far from home, Teddy is thrust into an unexpected journey of loss, growth, and resilience.

Taken in by a kindly farmer, Teddy rebuilds his life with integrity and hard work, resisting bitterness even when wrongly accused. Over time, his wisdom and compassion shine through. When his cousins return seeking help, unaware of his true identity, Teddy faces a revenge or grace.

In a powerful moment of reconciliation beneath the gumtrees, Teddy chooses forgiveness, echoing the biblical truth that what others meant for harm, God can use for good. The tale ends with a joyous biscuit bash and a bush-wide reminder that true strength lies in mercy.
