Becoming Real

"Reading this book to my five-year-old son had me in tears as it gave me a chance to reflect on my own journey to become Real, and at how very blessed I am to guide him along his journey. Tears welled and flowed as the simplistic words the author chose couldn’t have cultivated feelings of gratitude, accomplishment, and happiness any better, and I found myself empathizing with a stuffed-animal more deeply today than when I was a child. My son caught a glimpse of my happy tears. “I’m not sad, babe. Sometimes people cry when they’re really happy too”. He said very casually “I know mom. There’s just too much love inside you that it has to come out”."

Lenore N. (5/5)

The Perfect Classic Gift For Baby

"Please see my review of the ""Jellycat Woodland Bunny"". . . I give this along with a copy of the book, ""The Velveteen Rabbit' -- a gift for baby to love now and forever. . . a classic."

Nursery magic to be shared

"""The Velveteen Rabbit"" is one of my favourite books. I have pet rabbits, and I like to believe that they were once someone's loved and cherished stuffed bunnies. I purchased this book as a gift, and I hope the recipient will love it as much as I do."

Harlow (5/5)

MARGERY WILLIAMS was born in London in 1881 and first came to the United States at the age of nine. For the rest of her life, she lived alternately in England and America. Her first novel was published when she was twenty-one, but she turned to writing for children in 1922 with the publication by Doubleday of The Velveteen Rabbit, the best-known of her thirty books for young people. Toward the end of her life, she lived in Greenwich Village in New York City. She died there in 1944. 

WILLIAM NICHOLSON was born in Newark-on-Trent, England, in 1872. He illustrated several books during his lifetime, including the children's classic The Velveteen Rabbit, and was also a renowned portrait painter. Many of his portraits and still lifes hang today in museums and galleries throughout England. He was knighted in 1936, and died in 1949.
