The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse: A Heartwarming Tale of Friendship

Kooky456: I saw this book for the first time at a baby shower. It was given to the mom-to-be as part of a gift. It caught my eye and after scanning a few pages I decided to order it. This is the sweetest, kindest book I've ever read. The author is so relatable in his introduction and so is the message of this book. As someone who has suffered greatly this past year with grief, this book said just the right things to help me remember that love is all around and I will be okay. This book is for anyone at any age. You won't be sorry...it's so sweet.

azmissdaisy: I bought this book for myself. I just loved everything about it. But as soon as I got it, all I could think of was how my artist mom (94) would love it too. And I was right! I sent it to her for Christmas and she was thrilled that I knew her so well. She showed me the copy she bought herself earlier this year. We bonded over how we both loved the book. Now my husband is asking me to buy another copy because he enjoyed it so well before I gifted it to her. So not just for children. A beautiful little book for all ages.

Shari: It's a sweet story and I love the graphics. I bought one as a gift for a friend, then I bought several more for gifts and I had to have my own copy. It's an easy read and one to re-read or open to a page for the perfect message you need.

Sylvia Vega: Fint innehåll av boken och bra kvalitet. Fint meddelande genom hela boken! 19:åring dotter tyckte mycket om den och även ett plus på noterna som hon kan spela på olika musikinstrument! 🎷

Rosie Gamgee: This is an enchanting book: simple and charming. (I have bought several copies of this book and have enjoyed colouring in the line drawings.) They make beautiful gifts for friends of all ages. Some readers looked for wisdom in this book but I found for a cake-loving mole and his love for his friends.

lightplay: This is a picture book, but it's not just for kids. We all need to be reminded that we matter, that we are loved, and that we make the world a better place. Kindness changes lives & helps folks find their way home.

Matt Brown: This enchanting book unexpectedly crossed my path during a podcast, and I'm immensely grateful it did. "The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse" is a profound masterpiece that transcends age barriers, offering a treasure trove of wisdom applicable to both children and adults alike.

Charlie Mackesy's storytelling and illustrations are a breathtaking fusion of heartwarming simplicity and profound depth. Each page is a journey of self-discovery and resilience, beautifully capturing the essence of life's lessons through the endearing characters of the boy, the mole, the fox, and the horse.

The book is a balm for the soul, a reminder of kindness, courage, and the enduring power of friendship. Whether you're navigating the complexities of adulthood or helping a child navigate the early chapters of life, the messages embedded in these pages resonate universally.

The artwork is as captivating as the words, evoking emotions that linger long after the book is closed. Mackesy's ability to distill complex emotions into simple yet powerful illustrations is nothing short of magical.

In recommending this book, it's not just a suggestion; it's an earnest...

Otávio RodriguesOtávio Rodrigues: 📚Charlie Mackesy - O Menino, a Topeira, a Raposa e o Cavalo 👦🏼🦡🦊🐴

Há alguns meses eu li essa simples e encantadora história, mas dotada de uma profundidade sublime, que irá conquistar os amantes de “O Pequeno Príncipe”.

Na obra de Charlie Mackesy, com adaptação vencedora do Oscar de Melhor Animação em Curta Metragem, produzido pela AppleTv, conhecemos um Menino a procura de respostas, uma Topeira gananciosa, uma Raposa silente e um Cavalo cheio de sabedoria.

Uma história carregada de amor, amizade, medos, e senso de pertencimento! Na narrativa, vemos que até elementos simples, como a mudança de clima, tem um propósito de testificar as mensagens: “Quando as nuvens escuras vierem, continue”.

Com envelopamento infantil, a história está longe de ser apenas para crianças, uma vez que essas ainda estão construindo uma linguagem para compreender questões existenciais.

Sendo cristão, a obra de Macksey está carregada de virtudes e alusões da verdade bíblica. Amo um diálogo entre o Menino e o Cavalo, que remete ao amor e misericórdia de Deus por seus Eleitos:
“Então vocês sabem tudo sobre mim?”...
