From the creator of the internationally bestselling, award-winning classic The Bear and the Piano – which has sold more than 120,000 copies in the UK – My Friend, Billy Whiskers is a charming celebration of friendship, bravery and the little push we sometimes need to step into something new.

Some friends are real, some are imaginary, but all can help us find our voice. 

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.

Miles B. ★★★★★

The hardback cover is sturdier than I expected, which is great since my toddler loves to "read" it by carrying it around. The illustrations are so warm and expressive, they really bring the story to life for both of us.

Samuel ★★★★★

My three-year-old asks for this every single night now—the hardback cover feels sturdy enough to survive all her bedtime readings. Billy Whiskers' story really captured her imagination, and the pages have that nice weight you want from a proper picture book.

Harper C. ★★★★★

My five-year-old immediately started acting out the scenes with his own toys after we finished reading. The hardback binding feels sturdy enough for nightly storytime, and the story has a sweet, gentle rhythm that holds his attention.
