About This Book

From the creator of The Bear and the Piano

Some friends are real, some are imaginary, but all can help us find our voice. My Friend, Billy Whiskers is a charming celebration of friendship, bravery, and the little push we sometimes need to step into something new.

On a snowy day, while the other children play together, Patrick sits alone, but he isn't really alone. His imaginary friend, Billy Whiskers, is always there, ready for bike rides, tree climbs, and magical adventures where Patrick's worries can just disappear. But on this special snow day, with the help of Billy Whiskers, Patrick finds the courage to take a new adventure and say hello to real life children playing in the real life playground. Can you guess what happens next? 

This heart-warming and uplifting picture book from award-winning author-illustrator David Litchfield celebrates the magic of imaginary friendship, the power of empathy, and the friends who help us grow.
