Blue Horse — Helen Stephens

A reassuring story about putting aside shyness to make new friends --- imaginary and real.

Tilly is the new girl in town, which isn't much fun if you are shy and have no one to play with. Then Tilly meets Blue Horse. They fly to the moon, romp to the Wild West, and go to the theater (where Tilly isn't scared, even the scariest scary parts). Then Tilly sees a girl playing all alone -- she wants to say hello but thinks she's too shy. When Blue Horse gives her a nudge, Tilly is delighted to find that this new girl also has an imaginary friend! In this reassuring story, a little bit of imagination and a big heart go a long way toward making new friends of all kinds!
