“As the little girl paged through the wordless book, she heard the wind blow and then a small whisper:

‘Dear little girl, don’t be disappointed.
You can imagine the words,
You can imagine the stories.
Start with a few simple words and imagine from there. 
Remember: beginnings, middles and ends of stories can always be changed and imagined differently. 
There are never any rules, rights, or wrongs in imagining– imagining just is.’

The whisperer sounded so knowing and wise to the little girl that she opened the book to the first page and began.”

Pamela Zagarenski has put out a beautiful book called “The Whisperer,” about a little girl whose book loses all it’s words but is still filled with pictures.  While the story seems to imply a fox is the whisperer, it’s never actually told who it is, and I’d like to think it’s our dear Mother Goose herself!
