¡°The world that I long to inhabit is the one that Charlie Mackesy has created ? a world of infinite kindness, wisdom, mutual care and tenderness, and true love between real friends. My prayer/hope is that our world will become more like this one.¡± (Elizabeth Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love and Big Magic)
"Love, friendship, and kindness--this book speaks a universal language." (Bear Grylls)
"A wonderful work of art and a wonderful window into the human heart" (Richard Curtis)
"Simply, the world need's Charlie's work right now." (Miranda Hart)
¡°A sweet tale rendered in swirly black calligraphy and watercolor. Childlike in its simplicity, its messages are universal. . . . Mackesy has brought people together.¡± (The Washington Post)
¡°A lonely boy ambles through the countryside on a spring day, finding companionship: first meeting the mole, then the other animals of the title. As they walk, the new friends talk, wonder, share their hopes and fears and pose some big questions. . . . A big hit.¡± (The Philadelphia Inquirer)
¡°A delightful treat of a book. . . . If there were classes on how to be a good person, this book would be the textbook.¡± (Horse Nation)
