Inhaltsangabe

'A sweet tale rendered in swirly black calligraphy and watercolour. Childlike in its simplicity, its messages are universal. . . . Mackesy has brought people together.' The Washington Post

Discover the book everyone is falling in love with...

Experience the world of a curious boy, a greedy mole, a wary fox and a wise horse who find themselves together, in sometimes difficult terrain, sharing their greatest fears and biggest discoveries about vulnerability, kindness, hope, friendship and love.

A book to treasure alongside the original blue edition, Charlie has drawn a new rainbow illustration to mark this particularly hard year. This edition contains a gold ribbon marker and is bound in green cloth.

'When the dark clouds come... keep going.'
