THE VELVETEEN RABBIT
"...once you become real, you can't be ugly, except to those who don't understand." A story for both children and adults. To the child, this is about a friendship between a boy and his rabbit; to the grownups, it is a story that reminds us to accept ourselves as persons worthy of being loved and the real persons we become through loving relationships. |
