    I am thankful to have had plenty of literature in my childhood; rabbits seem to have been a recurring theme. My dad would read the book "Guess How Much I Love You" to me when I was a baby, and my grandmother on his side would read this story to me. I miss them both very dearly; curling up with a Nut Brown Hare plush and listening to this feels like a loving tribute to them. Thank you. ❤

    I am 56, I love Joannes reading of this. I would like to follow more stories read by her ❤️🐇. It made my day and helped a young lady in Africa go to sleep today. A profound story I love.

      Listening to this story for the first time ever. I literally only knew the name bc of Chandler on Friends giving this book to that chick with the short hair. The one him & Joey were fighting over for some reason.

    At first I was a bit confused as to why this kids' book was described by Jo-Anne as 'for adults.' I remember having this story read to me as a child, experiencing the sadness and beauty of the rabbit's plight.
    But hearing this again as an adult, I finally realise the real magic of this story: The velveteen rabbit is made real by *us,* the listener! The compassion, sorrow and joy we feel for him are the proof. He's real! I get it now. Yes, the story is not only for kids.
    Just beautiful. Thank you for the new revelation, JoAnne!

    Oh, I sobbed through almost the whole story! Especially the end. I was so afraid it would be a sad ending like the fairytales I am mostly used to, like the tales by H. C. Andersen. I was searchig for a very nice and uplifting fairytale to ease my anxiety and sad mood. I found this video. I have never heard it before. But I understood that it was probably written a long time ago, since the rabbit was stuffed with sawdust. I love this fairytale about the little velveteen rabbit! Thank you so much for reading this fairytale and for making this video. I feel uplifted and calm now. Your voice is very soothing and sounds so kind. Now I feel much better and will be able to do all the heavy chores I have to do tonight. Thank you so much❣🐇💕🌠💖

I feel so happy for him at the end. that was so unexpected and wholesome. I loved it! whay this tale has a Toy Story vibe though? anyway, so great. thanks you for that 💗💗💗

      Really, it must be something wrong with the volume settings on the device or laptop you are using or your headphones cuz everyone else including me can hear this audio just fine. Make sure you try checking whatever you are using cuz my Mom Joanne always make sure the sound quality is perfect on her audios.

    • @relaxforawhile

I don't know if any of those locations are convenient for you, but they might be able to recommend places closer to you if you aren't able to travel. www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/sleep-medicine/sections/overview/ovc-20407454

    • @relaxforawhile
      @relaxforawhile  Рік тому

      Bob my advertisements are turned off. I never have them on for mid video or at the end. Please check to see if you have 'autoplay' turned on, which is UA-cam's default. If it is turned on, this means the next video will begin to play and if that video is monetized you will be startled by the ad. Please check this to see. Perhaps UA-cam will play ads regardless of my settings. If so, I can't do much about that. However, Premium is always an option.
