The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy

Some books feel like a warm hug, and The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse is exactly that! Written and illustrated by Charlie Mackesy, this little treasure is filled with heartwarming conversations between four friends—a boy, a mole, a fox, and a horse—each sharing simple yet profound truths about life. At times, I felt like these characters weren’t just separate beings, but reflections of the same person at different stages of life. Each represents a different part of the journey we all go through! The choice to tell this story through conversation is nothing short of brilliant. It’s as if Mackesy invites us to sit down with these characters, to share their perspectives and learn from their reflections.


Here are some of my favorites from the book


"Often the hardest person to forgive is yourself"
"Is your glass half empty or half full? Asked the Mole...I am grateful to have a glass, said the boy"
"One of our greatest freedoms is how we react to things"

(I couldn’t agree more!) And honestly, as I kept reading, my heart just softened with every word 💛


What I love about this book is how it feels like a gentle nudge to be kind to ourselves and others. Whether it’s the reminder that “Often the hardest person to forgive is yourself,” or the wise words of the boy saying “I’m grateful to have a glass,” these nuggets of wisdom sink deep!


Some books move you—some inspire, some challenge, but this one heals! It stirs your heart and opens your mind, making you more compassionate toward the world around you!


It’s the kind of book you can flip open on any random page, and somehow, it gives you exactly what you need at that moment. It’s beautifully illustrated, calming, and feels like a piece of art you can come back to again and again. Keep it on your bedside table for those days when the world feels heavy, and you’ll find comfort in its pages.


If you haven’t yet, give this book a chance! It’s a little bit of magic in a world that could use more kindness 🌱 Dive into the experience here!
