The Velveteen Principles: A Guide to Becoming Real Hidden Wisdom from a Children's Classic Hardcover - 2004

by Toni Raiten-d'Antonio


From the publisher

Who wouldn't want to go back to when life was simple and a stuffed animal could fix all your problems?
Botox parties. Extreme Makeovers. "Reality" TV. These are just some examples of how we have lost sight of something so basic yet so essential to true happiness: On our way to becoming status-seeking super-humans, we forgot how to be Real. This charming gift book guides readers down a simple path to reclaiming joy, fulfillment and individuality, using an unconventional source--the children's classic The Velveteen Rabbit. By sharing the timeless insights and poignant quotes from the popular children's book, the author identifies 10 keys to becoming Real, with the promise that when you become Real you will love and be loved with all your strengths, weakness, faults and gifts. As the Skin Horse explains to the Velveteen Rabbit: "Real isn't how you are made . . . It's a thing that happens to you. . . . Generally by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes droop and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But those things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand." Destined to be a classic in its own right, The Velveteen Principles delivers a simple yet profound message for the ages. Key Features

  • The charming and appealing format is similar to best-sellers like The Tao of Pooh.
  • This book taps into a much-beloved classic of children's literature--one that millions of parents loved as children and are now reading to their own children.
  • Stories of real people, including the author, provide examples and anecdotes that readers will immediately relate to and recognize.
  • Short 3-7 page sections create focus and great readability.
  • An ideal gift book--with substance!

First line

I began to formulate the Velveteen Principles in a most unlikely place.
