Critical Reviews
Back to School Previews - "a charming story about the magic of imaginary friends [...] Stunning artwork [...] A celebration of friendship an bravery."
--The Bookseller"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."
