When you were growing up did you every have an imaginary friend? I did. My imaginary friend was a big brown bear. He was my constant companion and confidant.
He was with me when I was scared, upset, happy, sad, and elated. I love my bear friend.
Many child have imaginary friends that they hold near and dear to their heart. As they grow they forget them. I heard somewhere that they are there to help the child feel safe and not alone.
I recently read a terrific book called "Sundays at Tiffany's" by James Patterson. It was an excellent book that I would recommend to anyone.
I won't tell you anything about it other than this, if you ever had an imaginary friend you will love it. The ending will touch your heart and leave you wanting more.

I had many imaginary friends when growing up, my first was Donatello from the Ninja Turtles haha! I don't have imaginary friends, but a tactic to help me with writing and seeing how a scene would go in a screenplay is that I do pantomime and visual characters. it helps a lot. I guess having a vivid imagination as a child really helped.

I that imaginary friends are friends of those with great early imaginations. I was kept so busy by my dog,Robin. and my two cousins that I didn't really have time for any imaginary friends. This author you mention is a great one. I haven't read this book though.
