“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!
Margery Williams Bianco was an English-American author, primarily of popular children's books. A professional writer since the age of nineteen, she achieved lasting fame at forty-one with the 1922 publication of the classic that is her best-known work, The Velveteen Rabbit. Wikipedia
If you are young at heart or you have children in your life, here’s a little cartoon version of the story.
However, we all know that there’s nothing better than the book with illustrations being read to us. Share yourself!
Once you are real, once you are loved…you can not be ugly or worn. One of my favorite kids’ books! I used to tease about growing shabby and loose joints…more like tight joints! Thanks for sharing this beautiful story…hope the young moms read this! 🩷😊
Thank you, Diane, for a reminder of all the good stuff for a change.
