Even as a child, I knew this story was magical. I found it haunting, almost, to realize how deeply powerful love is. To realize how powerful my own love could be. I remember wishing I could tell the little boy and his rabbit not to worry, that their bond will transform an ordinary stuffed animal beyond even their imagination. I deeply appreciate how this story encourages us to love and cherish what we have, for as long as we are lucky to have it. Recommended By Charlotte S., Powells.com
