Your words brought back so many open, honest questions my students would ask me when I was teaching first grade. I had to get used to it my first year of teaching when I had just turned 22 years old; some of their questions caught me off guard. But then I became accustomed to it and loved their curiosity accompanied by their innocence. Out of the mouths of babes, as they say!
I think that approaching life from a loving perspective and looking at how we can invest into our relationships from the heart is the key to a life well lived. To be able to model that to our children and grandchildren is the gift that keeps on giving...
I very enjoyable and wise read, Gary. Thank you for the kind reminder that close relationships keep us real and mean more than money. I wish you a nice weekend!
First published in book form in 1922 by a little-known novelist named Margery Williams Bianco, it has now been in print for just over a century, selling over a million copies in the U.S. alone.I gave my wife a velvet covered copy, a special edition : Press of A. Colish, 1974. with label on cover. This edition has six mounted color illustrations by Marie Angel that are mounted on glossy paper. Great addition to a library!

Love this and love "The Velveteen Rabbit". I've been known to cry when reading it. Thanks for sharing. 💜

Love the Velveteen Rabbit excerpt. Amazingly, I made it through childhood in the 1960s and 70s never having read it! Now I need to!

Love this, Gary! Thank you for sharing. Children are so brutally honest in their observations!
