Charlie Mackesy's mesmerizing debut combines the simplicity of "The Giving Tree", magic of "The Velveteen Rabbit" and the curiosity of "Paddington" - Elisabeth Egan, New York Times

Beautiful and Sad
Most beautiful and Sad at the same time. A real soul touching and eye opening story I have ever heard. The tears were flowing in parts.
The girl and the audio book about a boy, mole, fox and horse.
There was a girl who wasn’t very good at concentrating on written words but loved the idea of reading books and having pictures drawn in her imagination. She came across this audio book and fell in love with the wholesomeness, gentleness and heartfelt inspirational words she heard in just the four minute sample so she began to listen to the book.
She shared more emotions than she has fingers on her hands while listening to it.
Laughing at a wise mole who loves cake.
Feeling sad for the weary fox who just wants to be shown love.
Closing her eyes and feeling her heart sky rocket with excitement when a horse flies.
Smiling when a young curious boy asks many interesting questions and then sitting to agree and ponder for a moment when they’re answered.
This book is incredible. The music and sound effects in it are also incredible. Thank you Charlie for this gift. Thank you for your wisdom and kindness shared. Much love back to you.
Just Beautiful
