The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse

Simplicity comes like living water to a muddled mind. As such, I refuse to write two thousand words describing a book of a few hundred. As the description suggests, this book is about a group of friends, but primarily about a little boy in need of support during his journey. He first finds a friendly mole, then a bitter fox, and finally a rock-solid horse. Together they discuss life, face hardships, and bond over encouragement, companionship, and unconditional love.

My only complaint (and it is incredibly minor) is that there is an element of cursive to this book that may make it difficult for younger readers to read on their own.

This book is appropriate for all ages. No one is too young to learn they are valuable, lovable, and capable of great things no matter how small they feel. I adore sketch styles of art, so this book is *Chef’s Kiss*.

As far as spoilers go, surprisingly little comes creeping out. Sure, the horse turns out to be an insecure Pegasus and each character reveals their insecurities at different junctions, but The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse is just that—a story about a boy, a mole, a fox, and horse with all their insecurities, struggles and wholesomeness.

You can pick this book up anywhere and not feel lost. It’s full of wisdom and goodness. Go check it out and show your littles!
