I truly respect and deeply appreciate how gently and lovingly you answered your precious daughter. I also love the truthfulness in your letting her know you already realized this because as a mother you “ see things” referencing her birthday party that was so disappointing to her. AND I especially loved how she got to celebrate her birthday in a much more meaningful, comfortable and joyful way. The way you welcomed the story of The Velveteen Rabbit into your own storytelling

Love this. Wish I could post an image here. I've doing daily graphics of books I've loved and Velveteen Rabbit was one of them, and of course, I featured the same Skin Horse quote, because it's amazing!

As a queer woman who came out in the 1970s when I was 14/15, I can say that the world has changed a lot, and in some ways, it seems to be in tremendous regression as we are witnessing an increase queer hatred and bias. Thank for being a safe space for your daughter to feel your love and support. xoxo
