‘The Velveteen Rabbit’ is a first children's book and a heart-warming tale by Margery Williams, an English-American author, primarily of popular children's books. It is about a stuffed rabbit who longs to become real, and the magic that makes his dream come true.
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. 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.
A beloved classic since it was first published in 1922, it has since been adapted many times for television and film. It is a timeless story about the importance of love, honesty, and friendship.
