I remember a Swedish children's book from the 70s with a theme that imaginary friends are a normal childhood thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfie_and_His_Secret_Friend

Never heard of anyone actually having an imaginary friend, I thought it was some kind of narrative trope, similar to how daydreams might be represented as vivid realistic hallucinations in a movie.



Maybe imaginary friends are a normal childhood thing... among children who grow up to write children's books.


I would love to peruse a library of children's books all written by the not neurotypical or otherwise marginalized. A very different idea of how society should work might be revealed.
