Publisher's Synopsis
An acclaimed author and a Coretta Scott King Honoree pair up for this tender story about friendship and accepting change in this picture book told from the perspective of an imaginary friend who grapples with the complex feelings of growing apart from their human. Others tried to tell me that she wasn't real, that she was just imaginary. But what did they know? She was real to me. Then one morning... she was gone. When an imaginary friend's real-life best friend disappears, the creature is left to wander alone. Did it dream up the entire friendship? Maybe... But the creature misses her laugh, her comfort, and her silly mischief. It couldn't have imagined those things, could it? Lush illustrations pair with touching text in this gentle picturebook that illuminates the sweetness of first friendship, the sadness when it's lost, and the beauty in discovering that new friends are just around the corner.
