Reviews
The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse is a book of words and pictures by British cartoonist and illustrator, Charlie Mackesy. The title explains the subject. It is filled with stylistic illustrations and the text is painted, in a style almost reminiscent of calligraphy. There are many wise words is this book about friendship.
"'What do you think in the biggest waste of time?'
'Comparing yourself to others,' said the mole."
"One of our greatest freedoms is how we react to things"
"Don't measure how valuable you are by the way you are treated"
This is a beautiful book that would make the perfect gift for someone who needs to feel valued.
