Dedicated to Stella, my imaginary friend as a kid, who will live with me forever
Slide: 3
Henry LOVED to play in his room after school.
But there was one friend who was always with him.....
Slide: 4
Her name was Lola and she was INVISIBLE!
Slide: 5
No one could really see Lola.
Mom Lola is going to watch TV with us.
Who's Lola????
Not Henry's mom....
Slide: 6
Not Henry's dad.....
Who's Lola?
Let's go play outside Lola!
Slide: 7
Not even Henry's little sister!
Lola can I have the red car?
Who's Lola?
Slide: 8
At school, Henry sat away from the other kids, alone with Lola.
She was the only friend he needed.
Slide: 9
Lola was fun! She played games with Henry...
CATCH!
Even when he should be doing his homework.
Slide: 10
But sometimes, Henry felt a little lonely.
Slide: 11
That looks so fun.
Slide: 12
" I wish I could play with them," Henry said to Lola." "I just don't know how."
Slide: 13
Lola smiled, eyes wide. "You should try Henry! Maybe they'll be friends with you, too!"
Slide: 14
So, Henry marched over to the kids playing soccer, dragging Lola along.
Hi, I'm Henry. I have an invisible friend named Lola. Can I play with you guys?
Slide: 15
The kids stared at him and just laughed.
Invisible friend, that's so silly.
Slide: 16
Henry's face turned bright red. "Sorry', he mumbled and turned away.
Sorry
Slide: 17
Henry and Lola began their walk home.
"Maybe I am just different" he whispered.
Slide: 18
Lola put her arm on Henry's shoulder.
"Henry, I will always be with you no matter what, but you have to be brave and try again" Lola said.
Slide: 19
"But what if they make fun of me again?"
Slide: 20
Lola smiled gently. "Henry it's okay to feel nervous. You tried and that's what matters. Tomorrow, you should just go play without me, I'll watch from the bench."
Slide: 21
Sure! Come join us.
Hey guys, can I come play with you?
The next day, Henry went over to the other kids again while Lola waited for him at the other side.
Slide: 22
As the days went on, Henry started to play with the kids more. He finally felt like he was a part of their group.
But he started to see Lola less and less.
Slide: 23
Until one day without even realizing it, Lola was gone! Henry didn't feel sad or angry.
Instead he was happy and he knew that Lola would be with him forever in his heart.

The End!
