The Velveteen Rabbit
Margery Williams' nursery story in one volume — a toy rabbit, a boy, and the quiet turn from plaything to real.
Built with the tools of 2025
In 2025 the image models had no reliable way to hold a character across separate generations — every panel was a fresh roll of the dice. Consistency came from a reference sheet, a large pile of rejected images and hand-picking, not from the model. Generated text was not printable either, so every speech bubble and caption bar was typeset over the art afterwards. The character-reference and style-lock features that make this straightforward today did not exist yet.

Margery Williams’ nursery story in one volume — a toy rabbit, a boy, and the quiet turn from plaything to real.
One volume, 20 pages, all of them here — click any page to read it at size. I also produced the ElevenLabs voiceover for this title; that audio is not published here yet.
What was hard about this one
The rabbit is a toy for most of the book and alive at the end, so the same character has to read as stitched fabric and then as living fur without becoming a different rabbit. The warm autumn key runs through the whole volume and had to hold from the nursery to the garden.
Why the year matters
At the time, no mainstream image model could take a character and reliably produce that same character in a new pose. There was no character reference, no style lock, no consistent-character mode, and generated text was not clean enough to print — which is why every speech bubble here is typeset over the art rather than generated in it.
Today much of that is a solved problem. That is exactly why the work is dated: the interesting part is not that the pages are consistent, it is what consistency cost in 2025 — and that the pipeline built a year later for the Grade-5 science book can now measure that cost instead of quietly absorbing it.
