Invisible Billy

His first name is Billy. His last name is Stankinsworth. Thats Billy Stankinsworth. Thats the best name of the coolest best friend, EVER. Embracing those energies around children, visible to others or not, carries on their stories and validates the children with whom they interact. Billy lives on within the pages of this book. Billy was a very real part of our lives since Kelly could talk. He was with us everywhere; in the car, while we played, when she was sad. He shared holidays and birthdays. Billy was so vivid to her, that I never questioned his true reality. To her, he was real and never interfered with real life. Kelly has always remembered Billy fondly, and has often reassured children with her experience of him. .- LuAnn Hufnagle
