The Velveteen Rabbit
ByPublisher Description
Christmas morning, the room filled with the hustle and bustle of preparation, a rabbit stitched of velveteen sits perched on top of the little boy's stocking. Those first two hours are the best of the young rabbit's life: filled with hugs and play. But like most children, the boy is fickle and easily distracted—after Christmas morning, the Velveteen Rabbit is forgotten.
Shy and intimidated by the new mechanical toys who sneer at him for being simple, the sawdust-filled rabbit sits quietly at the top of the toy closet, aching to be loved the way he was that wonderful Christmas morning. He's soon taken in by the wise old Skin Horse, who sets him straight on the way to become real. It's not about expensive mechanisms or shiny paint jobs. No, becoming real is all about the unadulterated love of a child.
is a timeless story about the importance of love, honesty, and friendship.

“This was on of my favorite books as a child. I must’ve still been learning to read at the time and mostly looking at the pictures because the story’s longer and the writing more advanced than I remember. Nevertheless, it’s still a beautiful story about the power of love and making someone feel important and real.
It’s funny, when I was little and reading this, I wanted to have my own velveteen rabbit. To love something so much that it became real. Now as an adult, I relate to the rabbit looking back and being grateful to the person who taught him what love is and how important it is to one’s self-image. Being real to the boy — being loved by him — was enough.”
