Quote of the Month, May 2013

To the right you will see my Quote of the Month for May 2013. This quote is from one of my favourite children's books, The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams. It is about a toy rabbit who is so loved by a child that he becomes more than just a toy. It's a beautiful story about hope, joy, and the transformative power of love, and you can read it online here, courtesy of The University of Pennsylvania's Digital Library Project.

There will be a new Quote of the Month on the 1st of June. Feel free to leave a comment if you have a suggestion.
