Welcome to Litsy!

At one point, The Velveteen Rabbit‘s author was not as famous as her daughter, an art prodigy. But childhood fame can be difficult at such a young, #delicate age and Pamela Bianca suffered tremendously because of that.

This is a TBR book that I am really excited about. The Velveteen Rabbit has been a favorite of mine since I was five.

Enjoyed this novel exploring the relationship between Margery Williams, author of The Velveteen Rabbit, and her daughter, Pamela Bianco, a now-forgotten artistic prodigy. It's always interesting to read the imagined stories of real people when written well.

So I stopped at the library to pick up 1 book and may or may not have come home with 3. 😆
I'm not familiar with the tagged book, but since I love The Velveteen Rabbit, I could not resist checking this one out.

The Velveteen Rabbit is one of my favorite books. I know zero about the author, Margery Williams. I kind of had a vague idea she may have been British, based on the setting of Velveteen Rabbit. As little as I knew about her, I knew even less about her daughter, Pamela Bianco. Bianco became a world-famous child prodigy painter at the kind of sadly early age of 11. She also suffered from the same depression that her father also battled. Great book.

I knew very little about Margery Williams and zero about her artist daughter, Pamela Bianco. This book is so good!

No weekends off for #womenshistoryreads interviews! Today, read about the wonderful Laurel Davis Huber & her prize-winning novel THE VELVETEEN DAUGHTER. Greermacallister.com/blog

I've heard such good things about this one!

The fact that I read this whole book in one morning should tell you something! A fascinating, fictional look at the lives of Margery Williams Bianco (author of The Velveteen Rabbit) and her daughter, child prodigy artist Pamela Bianco.

Well, I did have plans today, but canceled them since Ju is a bit under the weather. Read her a stack of books, and now she's cuddled up watching some PBS kids while I get my own book time!

Pretty stoked about this book I just got sent for review! Gonna have to re-read The Velveteen Rabbit too, it's been yeeeears. (Also! Gonna be interviewing the author soon, if anyone has burning #velveteenrabbit questions to pass along!) #bookmail
