Must read … gifting idea
Wonderful book, the content and pages are good. While the story itself is wonderful, and works for anyone - I first heard this as an audiobook. I would recommend getting one for yourself and first sure your kids especially for young ones turning teens.

Beautiful illustrations, the text reads like a list of quotes
The book is beautifully illustrated and it has a lot of wisdom to part but in a disconnected way that doesn’t come together to form a plot. Just a boy, a mole, a fox, wondering around and having short exchanges about life, its difficulties and how to be your best self. Important conversations for sure but to me it just reads like a book full of quotes.

Honest, healing and timeless
I came accross this book by Charlie Mackesy called The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse is a tender, visually stunning, and deeply moving book that speaks to the soul with remarkable simplicity and sincerity. This modern fable follows four unlikely companions as they journey through the wilderness of life, offering profound reflections on friendship, kindness, vulnerability, and the courage to keep going. Each page combines hand-lettered text and expressive illustrations, are beautiful . The wisdom shared—often by the mole, feels universal and heartfelt. Lines like “What do you think is the biggest waste of time?” “Comparing yourself to others,” or “Being kind to yourself is one of the greatest kindnesses,” resonate powerfully. Mackesy’s art is fluid and emotional. The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse is a rare gem: honest, healing, and timeless.
