Illustrated by
Linda Bronson.
Bright, swirling new illustrations decorate the story of a little girl who relies on imaginary friends to keep her company when her family moves. The story is cheerful and predictable: the child finds she no longer needs her imaginary friends when she makes a friend of her own. Featuring decorative flourishes, the art is much less emotionally engaging than the text.
