My Friend, Billy Whiskers
In this touching picture book about an imaginary friend that sees a boy through anxiety, Patrick is nervous to play with the other kids; luckily, he has Billy Whiskers, his imaginary lion friend. With a palette scraped from a sunset-streaked sky, the watercolor illustrations are just as magical as Billy’s adventures with Patrick, soaring through the stars or strolling through an enchanted forest. Their adventures give Patrick the courage to connect with others, but Billy, like any good friend, is always there when needed.
