Margery Williams Bianco Libri

A stuffed toy rabbit (with real thread whiskers) comes to life in Margery Williams' timeless tale of the transformative power of love. Given as a Christmas gift to a young boy, the Velveteen Rabbit lives in the nursery with all of the other toys, waiting for the day when the Boy (as he is called) will choose him as a playmate. In time, the shy Rabbit befriends the tattered Skin Horse, the wisest resident of the nursery, who reveals the goal of all nursery toys: to be made "real" through the love of a human. "'Real isn't how you are made,' said the Skin Horse. 'It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.'" This sentimental classic--perfect for any child who's ever thought that maybe, just maybe , his or her toys have feelings--has been charming children since its first publication in 1922. (A great read-aloud for all ages, but children ages 8 and up can read it on their own.)

The story follows a stuffed rabbit who yearns to become real through the love of a young boy. Initially overshadowed by modern toys, the rabbit finds hope in the Skin Horse's wisdom about love's transformative power. When the boy falls ill, the rabbit becomes his cherished companion, embarking on a magical journey toward becoming a real rabbit. Celebrated for over a century, this edition features original color illustrations by William Nicholson, enhancing its timeless appeal.

Zu Weihnachten bekommt ein kleiner Junge einen kleinen Hasen aus Samt geschenkt. Anfangs ist es nur eines von vielen Spielsachen – bis das alte Schaukelpferd den kleinen Hasen anvertraut, dass Spielzeuge »wirklich« werden können, wenn ein Kind sie von Herzen liebt. Von diesem Moment an wünscht sich das Samthäschen nichts sehnlicher, als lebendig zu werden und mit den echten Hasen durchs Gras zu hoppeln. Als der Junge es eines Tages wieder aus der Spielzeugkiste holt, beginnt eine innige Freundschaft – und das Häschen wird zu seinem treuen Begleiter. Margery Williams’ berührende Geschichte erzählt mit großer Wärme vom Wunsch, gesehen und geliebt zu werden – und davon, wie echte Liebe uns verwandeln kann.
