About this listen

Liam spends his days surrounded by toys, puzzles, and drawings—but something is missing: a friend. One afternoon, he whispers into the quiet air, “I wish someone would play with me.”

That’s when Spark appears—an invisible friend who shines only through belief. Together, they build pillow castles, fly through moonlit kingdoms, and learn songs older than mountains. But when adults begin to doubt, Spark starts to fade.

In a touching story of imagination and love, Liam learns that belief is more than closing your eyes and wishing—it’s choosing to see possibilities even when others cannot. The Invisible Friend celebrates creativity, empathy, and the enduring power of wonder for listeners of all ages.

Perfect for:

Listen-aloud: Ages 4–8

Independent listening: Ages 7–10

Older children & adults: A reflective parable about imagination, belief, and connection.
