Description
Spring rain against the nursery window, and a lamp shaped like a moon glowing on the dresser. In the cradle, a very small person named Agathe is deciding whether to sleep or protest. Her mother hums an old song from the Morvan, the one about the rabbit who outran the fox, and slowly the decision is made in favor of sleep.
That quiet, rain-washed hour is what this rosy pacifier brings to mind. The rabbits scampering across it seem to belong to that lullaby, and the shape is instantly recognizable to every parent who has searched the floor for one at three in the morning. As a gift, it suits a baby shower, a christening or a first birthday, and later it can hold a first tooth or a lock of hair. On a nursery shelf it stays out of little hands but in full view, gently reminding everyone how tiny she once was.

Wrap it in tissue with a note for the parents, then a second note for the baby to read when she is grown. Both will be treasured, though perhaps at different times.
