VELVETEEN RABBIT.

A timeless treasure that has captured hearts for generations, The Velveteen Rabbit is the story every child—and every grown-up who remembers being one—needs on their shelf. Margery Williams Bianco’s beloved classic follows a stuffed rabbit who longs to become Real through the love of the boy who owns him.

By the time the Velveteen Rabbit is dirty, worn out, and about to be burned, he has almost given up hope of ever finding the magic called Real. But what unfolds is a tender meditation on what it means to be truly loved—scraggly fur, missing whiskers, and all. This is a story about transformation, about how love changes us, makes us vulnerable, and ultimately makes us whole.

Perfect for bedtime reading or quiet afternoons when the sea fog rolls in, this edition brings new life to a story that has moved readers since 1922. The prose is gentle yet profound, with a wisdom that resonates differently at every age. Parents find themselves tearing up while their children snuggle closer, and that’s exactly as it should be.

Whether you’re introducing a young reader to their first “big kid” book or rediscovering a childhood favorite, The Velveteen Rabbit reminds us that being Real isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being loved. A beautiful addition to any home library, and a story that lingers long after the final page is turned.
