“You Can’t Be Ugly”
Be Real, Be Loved, and Become! If you feel old and raggedy, read this book to yourself and find a child to share it with. They will remember it forever!

Thank you Diane K24! A lot of other books were read to my brother and I, though not The Velveteen Rabbit. Now approaching 75 I’ve become a bit shabby. No eyes have fallen out, though each has a new lens! Complaining joints a-many. Titanium plates and screws in my lower spine…
Were that available to the beloved Velveteen Rabbit, I fear it would never have become real!
Perfect choice!
