About this book

On Christmas morning, a velveteen rabbit arrives as a gift and is promptly forgotten. Befriended by the wise old Skin Horse, he learns that becoming Real is not about how you are made, but about being truly loved. As the Boy's devotion grows, the Rabbit's velvet fades and his seams loosen—but he becomes Real in the only way that matters. When scarlet fever threatens to destroy him, a single tear falls and a Nursery Magic Fairy grants him what love began: full, universal, irreversible life. A short story of profound tenderness about love, loss, and transformation.
