↖ The ADVENTURES of BEEKLE: The Unimaginary Friend

by Dan Santat

This magical picture book about a nameless imaginary friend begins in a faraway land where he is waiting patiently to be chosen by a real child. After being overlooked again and again, he decides to take matters into his own hands and sets off on an incredible journey to find his own friend. He looks and looks to no avail, but when all seems lost he finally meets the child who will give him his name: Beekle. The stunningly detailed illustrations in this picture book made it the well-deserved 2015 winner of the Caldecott Medal. Children of all ages will enjoy Beekle’s journey to find a friend along with the other fantastical imaginary friends he sees along the way.
