Originally appearing in 1922, The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams captured generations of hearts. But times have changed. In order to connect with a new generation, this beloved tale must change too. Not everything is different though. In this updated edition, we still learn about the magic of love as one little stuffed animal is transformed.

A toy does not question its purpose. It is loved, or it is forgotten. Once, a little stuffed rabbit found himself in a child's arms. And for a time, that was enough. But then he learned a terrible, wonderful secret—one whispered by an old, threadbare toy with eyes that had seen too much. "Real isn't how you're made. It's something that happens to you." But what does it cost, to become Real? And is love ever enough?

This beautiful story by Margery Williams has delighted children for a century. This new soundtrack by Storytime Soundtracks envelops the story in a magical, dreamlike world and is the perfect, comforting listen for a good night's sleep.

We all pretend from time to time. Driven by a desire to create or maintain a certain image, we pretend to be more or different than who we actually are. We seem more interested in pretending to live interesting lives than actually living interesting lives. One hundred years ago, Margery Williams saw the human condition so clearly that her story, The Velveteen Rabbit, has been embraced more with every passing generation. Perhaps that is because our need to become real has grown greater with each year.
