'You will not be able to buy a more beautiful book for Christmas for somebody you love' Chris Evans


A book of hope for uncertain times.


Enter the world of Charlie's four unlikely friends, discover their story and their most important life lessons.


The conversations of the boy, the mole, the fox and the horse have been shared thousands of times online, recreated in school art classes, hung on hospital walls and turned into tattoos. In Charlie's first book, you will find his most-loved illustrations and some new ones too.


'A wonderful work of art and a wonderful window into the human heart' Richard Curtis


My Review:


Rating: 5/5 stars


My partner was gifted this book by a friend. He's not the biggest reader but seeing it laying on the kitchen table I had to pick it up. I didn't put it down until it was finished!


It is a very quick read which didn't even take me an hour. As the author says it can be for 8 year olds up to 80 year olds. Every page is like a life lesson and it really warmed my heart. The art work is beautiful and the characters seem to represent different parts of ourselves. I probably related to the fox because he isn't one to talk as much by enjoys being apart of the group.


When I have children this will be the book I will read to them over and over again! Such a heart warming story!
