SJF Book Recommendation (12-03-21)

Back to News
14th Mar 2021

The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse is a 2019 bestselling illustrated book by Charlie Mackesy. It follows a lonely boy who ambles through the countryside on a spring day. He first meets the mole and then the other animals in the title. It was the 2019 Waterstones Book of the Year. It is a beautiful book with incredible illustrations and quotes that are as relevant and meaningful to a five-year-old as they are to a 105-year-old!

We have used quotes from the book as a staff, during the earlier days of the pandemic. It is an inspiring and surprisingly relatable book – both simple and deep at the same time – and we heartily recommend it to you.
