Whim "This little girl had lost her smile because she had no friend. But suddenly, behind the tree, A voice said, 'My name's Whim.'” So begins this enchanting tale of friendship for young and old alike. Written in lyrical poetic verse, the story begins with one little girl’s longing for companionship and concludes when, as an adult, she reclaims her friend, Whim, and introduces him to her daughter. Written for both children and the adults who read to them, this story enchants and delights, while at the same time giving vision for what is not seen and hope for what endures.
