Helene was awarded first prize in the 2013 CYA Conference illustration category and The Velveteen Rabbit is her first published book. This classic story about a toy that becomes real through the love of the child he belongs to has recently been republished by New Frontier Publishing with gorgeous illustrations by Helene Magisson, a French-Australian illustrator. It is a beautiful story about the power of love, the need to belong and the affection children bestow upon their favourite toys. I can remember reading The Velveteen Rabbit for the first time (quite some time after it was first published, I should probably point out!). The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams Bianco was first published in 1922. ![]()
