Real To Me

By Emanuel Berger | May 11 2023 | Children'sBlog

An acclaimed author and a Coretta Scott King Honoree pair up for this tender story about friendship and accepting change. Two best friends (one of whom is imaginary) are inseparable until the day when one of them unexpectedly disappears.

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.

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 so real… you couldn’t have just imagined those things, right?

Lush illustrations pair with touching 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.
