An acclaimed author and a Coretta Scott King Honoree pair up for this tender story about friendship and accepting change. Two bestfriends (one of whom is imaginary) are inseparable until the day when one of them unexpectedly disappears.
Others triedtotellmethat she wasn'treal,that she was just imaginary.
But what did they know? She wasrealtome.
Then one morning... she was gone.
What do you do when your imaginary friend goes away? Did you dream up the entire friendship? Maybe... But you miss her laugh, her comfort, and her silly mischief. It all feels soreal... you couldn't have just imagined those things, right?
Lush illustrations pair withtouching text in this gentle picture book that illuminates the sweetness of first friendship, the sadness when it's lost, and the beauty in discovering new friends are just around the corner.
